• 1 c. (or more) diced onions
• 1 c. (or more) diced celery
• 1 c. (or more) chopped cabbage
• 1 c. (or more) fresh tomatoes, [peeled], seeded and
• chopped
• 4 TB butter
• 1 TB sugar
• S&P to taste
• 8 cups above stock

Saute vegetables in butter. Stir frequently, cooking for 15 min. Add stock and seasonings and simmer for 1 hour, until vegetables are tender.
