Boot Soup

Ingredients:

1 Well worn leather boot
1 Gallon water
16oz Beef Stock (old soup strained through a sock will suffice)
1 Large Onion
6 Stalks Celery (restaurants throw celery out before it gets too soft)
3 Large tomatoes
1tbs Salt (free at fast food restaurants)
2tsp Pepper



Remove all non leather components from the boot. Remove laces (they may be used for all kinds of tasty snacks and teas). Skin and chop the onion. Brown onion in the bottom of a large pot or small barrel. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Slowly add water and return to a boil. You may slice up the components of the boot or cook it whole. Add boot to water and return to boil. Lift pot above your burn barrel fire to a height safe to maintain a slow rolling boil. Cook for three hours and then add chopped vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another hour, cool and serve.

Serves 4 (up to six with more water)
