- 1/4 cup bacon fat
- 1/2 cup carrot, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon basil
- 1/8 teaspoon thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 cup flour
- 7 cups beef stock
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced canned
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2/3 cup potato, peeled and diced
- 1/3 cup turnip, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup red kidney beans, cooked
- 1/4 cup navy beans, cooked
- 2 tablespoons pasta
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon barley
- 1 tablespoon split peas
- 1 cup spinach, chopped

- Heat bacon fat in heavy saucepan over medium heat.
- Add next ten ingredients and cook until vegetables soften, stirring frequently.
- Add flour to form a roux, stirring until smooth.
- Add all remaining ingredients; cover and cook for about 50 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- For the pasta, I have seen them use ABC's and 123's, but any pasta should do. For the beef stock, I use a high quality beef base and water. I of course work for a company that makes high quality beef bases.
