Is there anything better than Vegetable Beef Soup
on a cold winter's day?
The meat and onions are simmered very gently in a
tightly covered pan to extract all its juices before the
other liquids and vegetables are added to the pot.
This concentrates the meat flavor and adds a rich color
to the broth without having to take the trouble to brown
the meat first.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 pounds meaty beef shanks or bone-in chuck roast
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs each fresh parsley, thyme, and marjoram
or oregano, chopped
10 cups water
2 cups canned tomato puree
3 large ribs celery, peeled and diced
4 large carrots, peeled and diced
3 medium turnips, peeled and diced
3 medium parsnips, peeled and diced
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 small green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
into 1-inch-long strips (about 3 cups)
Prep Time - 20
Cook Time - 265
Instructions
1. Melt butter in a large, heavy soup pot over medium-low heat.
Add beef, season with salt and pepper, Scatter onion evenly over top,
add bay leaves and chopped herbs, and cover tightly.
Reduce the heat to low; simmer about 2 hours.
2. Add water and tomato purée, increase heat to medium,
and return to a simmer, skimming off any scum that rises.
Add celery, carrots, turnips, parsnips and cabbage,
return to a simmer, and reduce heat to medium-low.
Simmer about 2 hours or until meat and vegetables are very tender.
3.Remove meat and cool slightly.
Cut into bite-size pieces, cover and refrigerate
until just before finishing the soup.
Either skim off excess fat from top or let the soup cool,
chill until the fat hardens (about 4 hours or overnight),
lift off layer of fat, and discard.
4. When ready to serve, return meat to the pot,
and cook about 5 to 10 minutes over medium heat
until heated through.
