Categories     Grains

Time 5h30m

Yield 2 gallons, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 large beef shanks
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups carrots (sliced chunky)
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, sliced
2 cups cabbage, chopped
8 cups water
32 ounces beef broth
2 teaspoons Kitchen Bouquet
1 (12 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, chopped with liquid (or larger)
1 cup okra, frozen slices (I hate okra but it's good in this recipe)
1/2 cup peas (frozen)
1/4 cup corn (frozen)
1/4 cup barley
1 teaspoon basil, dried
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
1 tablespoon chives, snipped (or freeze-dried)
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf, whole

Steps:

  • Brown the beef shanks in the olive oil until nice and browned. Add water and cook until the beef falls off of the bone and the marrow is cooked out of the center of the bones, about 3 hours.
  • Strain the broth through several changes of wet paper towels to get rid of the icky little protein globs and fat. Remove meat from the bones, remove the fat and dice the meat.
  • Wash the pot and add a little more olive oil and carrots, onion, celery and cabbage and cook on medium heat until they are beginning to color.
  • Add the meat, stock, broth and the remaining veggies, barley and spices and cook on medium low for a couple of hours. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Taste it to see if you need to adjust the salt or pepper. This holds nicely in a crock pot for hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, dark leafy kale. Avoid kale that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Prep the kale properly: Wash the kale thoroughly and remove the tough stems. Then, chop the kale into bite-sized pieces.
  • Brown the beef shanks: Browning the beef shanks adds a rich flavor to the soup. Be sure to brown the shanks well on all sides before adding them to the pot.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or turnips.
  • Season the soup well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of seasonings to the soup. Salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder are all good choices. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Let the soup simmer: The longer the soup simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Let the soup simmer for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time.
