After boiling, strain the juice and place in refrigerator until fat is hard. Scrape fat off and throw away.
Put pot back on stove and bring to a boil.
Add cabbage, onions, celery, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, sugar, bouillon cubes and navy beans.
Add water with tomatoes are as needed.

It's done in a day, but tastes better the second day.
