Pat, I'm with you on the Beef Soup, just some herbs. I only put beef, potatoes, onions, tomatoes and some beef broth. It was my Mom's receipe. My grandmother had the wells in her stove. Seems to me there was water in them all the time, and I know she put pots in there too. Those stove lids made great toast too. I have a Jenn aire now which is nice. It has a griddle we use for pancakes ect. and has grills for broiling. Trouble is for 2 of us doesn't get used like it did when the family was home. My favorite herb is basil for salads. Notice when we mention old receipes on here we all end up making soup.
