MaryElaine W. Shares her Recipe "Soups, like this one, became one of my favorite foods because it went down so easily. Other favorites: fruit cocktail, grapes, plums, watermelon, frozen pops and gelatin."

TO MAKE AHEAD: Cook beef bones and water one day. Refrigerate separately. The next day, skim fat from broth, and continue with Step 2.

To freeze, cool soup 30 minutes. Place in 2-quart freezer container. Freeze no longer than 2 months. About 35 minutes before serving, remove lid from freezer container; place container upside down in 2-quart microwavable casserole. Cover and microwave on Medium (50%) 25 minutes; remove container. Break up and stir. Cover and microwave on Medium about 20 minutes longer, stirring 2 or 3 times, until hot.
