3.   Place all ingredients into a large pot.
4.   Fill the pot with enough water to cover all the ingredients.
5.   Ensure that the amount of water being placed in the pot is measured.
6.   Add measure and record seasonings. i.e. salt, pepper, etc.
7.   Cook the soup.
8.   While the soup is cooking type up a recipe for the soup.
9.   Once the soup is cooked measure and record one cup of each of the ingredients.
