2 cups Chicken Broth
 (Rue or Water and flower to thicken to taste)

In large stockpot, fry ground beef, with onions, and garlic, towards end of browning add all spices. Then add broth and bring to boil. Add cooked and chopped potatoes. If using mini potatoes quarter them, if large potatoes diced. 

Bring to a boil and add rue if desired. Then reduce heat, simmer for 20 minutes.
 
For variety use 2 or more meats. I prefer bear, venison and lamb. You can also vary with different beans and or vegetables. 

Total prep and cook time is 30 to 45 minutes. I bake the potatoes while browning the meats.
