  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ⅛ teaspoon dried basil
  • ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ⅛ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 7 cups beef stock (preferably homemade)
  • 1 cup canned petite diced tomatoes, drained
  • ⅔ cup peeled and diced potato
  • ⅓ cup peeled and diced turnip
  • ¼ cup cooked red kidney beans

Instructions
  1. Heat butter or bacon drippings in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add next 10 ingredients (carrot through bay leaf). Cook until vegetables soften, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes.
  2. Add next 11 ingredients (beef stock through corn). Cover and simmer over low heat for 40 minutes.
  3. Add spinach and cabbage; cook 10 minutes. Taste to see if it needs salt or pepper, which will probably depend on how salty the beef stock used. Serve immediately.
