Note

I got this recipe from my sister years ago. Actually, when we lived together in college, this was one of our staple meals since it is inexpensive to make and it makes a LOT. I still love it.

1. Mix everything except parsley, vinegar, salt & pepper in a large pot.
2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover & simmer for about 45 minutes.
3. Stir in parsley, vinegar, salt & pepper.
