Great recipe for a delicious beef soup. Ready in 2 hours , medium complexity.
Ingredients
- 500-600 gr of beef meat
- 2 carrots
- 1 parsley
- 1 small celery
- 1-2 onions
- 200-300 gr of cauliflower , small pieces ( or cabbage )
- 200-300 gr of green beans
- 1-2 capsicums ( cut into cubes )
- 2-3 small potatoes ( cut into cubes )
- 1-2 boiled tomatoes , peeled off and cut into cubes
- fresh lovage
- salt
- pepper
- Optional: lemon or vinegar
Method
Step 1
Boil the meat in cold water with salt. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Peel, wash, finely chop the onions, the celery, the parsley and the carrots in cubes. I like herbs and vegetables cut symmetrically in soup, and everything in the plate I want to fit in the spoon i eat with.
Step 2
When the pot starts to boil, carefully remove the foam, several times. When the foam is not so abundant , add carrots, onions and celery. Simmer over low heat.
Step 3
Prepare the remaining vegetables. Here you can make combinations as you like, I used cauliflower, green beans, peppers ( capsicum ) and potatoes.
Step 4
They match so well in taste the cabbage, peas , beans , kale and even the zucchini. When root vegetables are half cooked ( when they begin to soften ) add cauliflower , peppers and green beans.
Step 5
Check the cooking stage of the meat and when the fork easily slides in the meat let it cool slightly. Cut the meat into cubes as symmetric as you can ( only to look good ) and add it to the boiling broth. Check how cooked the vegetables are and when the vegetables are almost done add the potatoes too.
Step 6
After the potatoes are boiling add the peeled tomatoes, cut into cubes. Let it boil for 2-3 times.
Step 7
Prepare the greens. Wash and finely chop the lovage and sprinkle on top.
