Homemade Soup

This is the kind of weather that makes you want to get out the stuff and make homemade soup. I make an old recipe that my mother-in-law used to make many years ago. It is a rice soup with tender beef, carrots and potatoes in it with a good beef broth. There is nothing like good hot soup on cold winter days and today is so gray and dreary, the soup helps bring up your spirits. I think I will take my friend who is 89, a dish of hot soup tonight for her supper. She loves it too.
