its the only name I know - it was my grandma's soup!

go to the meat department of your store and buy several knuckle bones (They usually come one or two to a package) or some bones with a little meat on them (the butcher would know)

Boil for around 3 hours to get all the flavor out of the bones
then add:
A large pot so you can 3/4 fill the pot with water or at least to cover the bones.
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 onion (diced)
cappelini noodles ( they are a very fine spaghetti type in a coil)

cook about 1 hour

also add
Salt
pepper
garlic salt
Italian seasoning
and whatever other spices you want

also have on hand lots and lots of buttered garlic french bread!


I dont know the amounts - got the ingrediants from different ones in the family (cant ask grandma - she passed away 12 yrs ago )
