Kerosene+Heater+Vegetable+Beef+Soup

=Kerosene Heater Vegetable Beef Soup=

This soup can easily be modified to any taste or budget as it uses whatever is in your cabinet or frig. I felt like a cross between McGyver and a pioneer woman when I realized that the Kerosene heater could boil water. So in the candle lit glow of my kitchen on the third day without electricity I began opening cans and emptying the freezer for this delightful vegetable beef soup. By day 5 without electricity I realized that I might have been cut out for pioneer living but I was sewn up all wrong. Enjoy your soup! //submitted by: Heather Blanton (hblanton)//
