I think I need help with the soup, you guys are probably asleep!
I put marinated ribs, mexican salami, rindless bacon, beef cubes, (my recipe said to fry it but I didn't read down that far) I put the bacon bones and pork roast back in the freezer, decided not to use those. I have the things on to boil and also the black beans on to boil in a separate pot. Maybe I should throw an onion etc. in with them. I think your recipe is more user friendly. I expect I will have to boil the meat for longer than was intended to cook the beef. Oh well.
