I've been making this one for years and years and everyone loves it.

1-1/2 pounds stew meat, cut into small cubes
1 lg onion, chopped
2 cans cut green beans
4 stalks of celery, chopped
6 lg carrots, sliced
1 pkg. onion soup mix
1 can diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato sauce
2 bay leaves
1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 small head of cabbage, chopped (or 1 pkg coleslaw mix)
1 pkg. frozen corn
1 tbsp beef stock
6 tomato cans of water

Season beef with garlic salt and pepper, brown well in 2 tsp. oil. Add onion and saute about 3 min. more. Place all ingredients into large soup pot, bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and cook about 2 hours. Serve with crusty french bread. Note: Be sure to remove bay leaves before serving.
