4 tsp. dulse flakes (Dulse is an edible kelp grown & marketed along the Bay of Fundy Coast)
2 stalks celery, leaves included
1/2 lg. can stewed tomatoes, diced
3 lg. carrots, finely diced
2 small onions finely diced
3/4 c. frozen peas
1/2 c. frozen corn
Spaghetti (substitute for alphabet noodles)
1 small can tomato paste
5 c. Vegetable stock (from cooked vegetables)
2 c. beef stock (from beef pot roast stock)
2 tbsp. beef bullion
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp salt
3 tsp. pepper
Sea salt & pepper to taste
2 c. water

In a small frying pan, pour 2 tsp. olive oil.
Cut up grilling steaks in stew meat-sized pieces and saute them in the frying pan until nicely browned. Cut up pieces of hot meat, using a knife and fork into smaller bite-sized pieces of meat chunks.
Dice carrots, celery, onions and garlic.
Press diced garlic on a chopping board and add to the mixture.
Add all other vegetables into the pot and add the liquid stock (or frozen vegetable & meat stock, depending upon quantity of stocks on hand).
Break spaghetti strands into small pieces and add to the mixture.
Simmer on half heat, stirring occasionally and making certain that the misture doesn't boil over.

Yield: 14 - 15 servings.

Tip: to store vegetable stock, clean out ice cube trays and pour vegetable or meat stock into them, freezing them for use as needed. You can also freeze the stock from the sauteed meat in olive oil, if desired.
