Place 2 lbs. pot roast with a marrow bone (ask butcher for this) in
a large soup kettle. Place enough cold water to cover only. ( Too
much water makes a weak soup). Bring it to a boil and skim off
impurities. Add 2 stalks celery, 2 parsley roots and 2 carrots.
Tie with a string. Add a largew yellow skinned unpeeled onion,
3 or 4 pepper corns and 1 t salt. Lower heat and simmer very slowly
( to keep your soup clear) for 2-1/2 hrs. or until meat is tender.
Strain the liquid and add dumplings or cooked noodles to the broth.
Meat or vegetables are delicious served separately with horseradish
or tomato sauce.
