brown the following: salt pork, garlic, onion, leek, parsley, basil. Add
the tomato paste and a little water to thin it. Cook five minutes. Add
tomatos, celery, carrots, potatos, turnip, cabbage, zucchini, water,
salt(optional), and pepper. Simmer slowly about 45 minutes to one hour. Add

covering with water and boiling. Serve topped with lots of grated (or
finely sliced) parmesan cheese, a great backpacking cheese: it's hard, good
on its own or in dishes, and it won't spoil
