Caldo de Res

I made this soup the other night when it was sooo cold. It was super good. Of course it's much better when my Grandma makes it, but I'm getting the hang. I forgot the cabbage, but my Mom didn't contest. :) I made Mexican rice and homemade tortillas to go along with it. I was good, only had one serving. :):)

2 lbs beef stew meat
salt, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
4 ears corn
6 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
3 tomatoes cut into wedges (I used 1 can stewed tomatoes)
3 zuchinni, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 onions, cut into 6 wedges
1/2 head cabbage, cut into quarters
1 green bell pepper, sliced
