In a very large soup pot, combine all ingredients. Let simmer for about 4 hours. Add water if necessary to prevent soup from becoming too thick. Check and stir occasionally throughout cooking time. Note: I usually halve this recipe, because it makes a huge amount, and then I put it in the crock pot.
