This is what I consider the ultimate beef soup. Great on a frosty day. For beef stock, I use 2 1/2 quarts water and 6 teaspoons beef base. Also, use inexpensive red wine. No need for the good stuff here, and cheaper actually works better! Try with leftover pot roast.

Provided by LKONIS

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Beef Soup Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds beef shank, with bone
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 cups beef broth
4 cups water
2 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 potato, quartered
2 ears corn, husked and cut into thirds
2 chayotes, quartered
1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into wedges
¼ cup sliced pickled jalapenos
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, cut into wedges
4 radishes, quartered

Steps:

  • Cut the meat from the beef bones into about 1/2 inch pieces, leaving some on the bones.
  • Heat a heavy soup pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the oil, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Add the meat and bones, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until thoroughly browned.
  • Add 1 onion, and cook until onion is also lightly browned. Stir in the tomatoes and broth. The liquid should cover the bones by 1/2 inch. If not, add enough water to compensate.

BEEF MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP



Beef Mushroom Barley Soup image

Family favorite. It kind of turns into a type of stew as the barley soaks up much of the beef stock. Best part is that it gets better with age, so make plenty and enjoy throughout the week! It's always better the second day, so you might want to cook it one day, refrigerate it overnight, and then cook it again the next day.

PHO BO (VIETNAMESE BEEF-AND-NOODLE SOUP)



Pho Bo (Vietnamese Beef-and-Noodle Soup) image

In Vietnam, where there is enough rain, heat and sun to grow almost anything in large quantity, herbs are treated much like what most Americans consider "eating" greens. They sometimes form the bulk of salads and soups and are often used as wrappers, seasonings and condiments. Here, a pile of fresh herbs are served alongside this classic Vietnamese beef soup, so diners can add to taste. Basil, cilantro and mint are critical, but chervil, lovage, parsley, shiso, dill, marjoram and other tender herbs work, too.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     pastas, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 pound thin rice noodles (labeled "vermicelli" or "rice sticks")
8 cups rich beef or chicken stock
4 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
1 1-inch chunk peeled fresh ginger
1 onion, quartered (don't bother to peel)
4 cloves
1 pound boneless sirloin, tenderloin or round (chicken may be substituted), cut into 16 thin slices
2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam, available at Asian markets) or soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
2 limes, cut into wedges
8 scallions, minced
Several Thai or other chilies, stemmed, seeded and minced
A heaping plate of mixed herbs, washed and dried: basil, cilantro and mint are most important, but chervil, lovage, parsley, shiso, dill, marjoram and other tender herbs are all appropriate.

Steps:

  • Soak rice noodles in hot water to cover.
  • Meanwhile, combine stock, star anise, cinnamon, ginger, onion and cloves in saucepan; turn heat to high. When mixture boils, turn heat to low, and cover. Let cook, undisturbed, for 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how much time you have (the longer the cooking, the deeper the flavor). Strain, and return to saucepan; turn heat to medium.
  • Bring pot of water to boil. Drain noodles, add them to pot, and boil for 30 seconds; drain well. Warm 4 large bowls by filling them with hot water; discard water. Divide noodles among bowls.
  • Turn heat under soup to medium, and add beef; stir once, and then turn off heat. (The meat is traditionally left rare; if you want to cook it more, go ahead, but these slices will cook through in less than 2 minutes.) Add fish sauce or soy sauce and plenty of pepper to the soup. Taste, and add salt or more seasoning, if necessary.
  • Top noodles with broth and meat, and then bring to the table. Serve, passing lime wedges, scallions, chilies and herbs at the table, so that everyone can add them to taste.
