Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

450 g beef (boneless beef neck)
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 onion, peeled
1 carrot, peeled
100 g celery root, peeled
100 g parsley roots, peeled
1500 ml beef stock, from 1 cube (up to 2000 ml)
2 onions, finely chopped
1 cup peanuts, shelled, dry and roasted, chopped (or 1/2 cup peanut butter)
1 cup cooked lentils or 1 cup dried peas
1 small leek, finely chopped
1 cup button mushroom, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup cream

Steps:

  • Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and sauté, divided into 2 batches, in peanut oil until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, make a mirepoix (soffritto or Holy trinity) from onion, carrot, celery and parsley root: cut the onion and root vegetables into smaller chunks and coarsely chop in a blender.
  • Add mirepoix to the meat, cook for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Add beef broth and simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Add the onions, peanuts, lentils, mushrooms, and leek. Stir and cook until the lentils are completely disintegrated.
  • Adjust the seasoning and add the butter and cream.

I made this soup for my family and they all loved it. Even my picky kids ate it up!

This soup is the perfect comfort food. It's hearty, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy.

I'm not a huge fan of elephant meat, but this soup was surprisingly good. The broth was very flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use any type of meat I have on hand.

I thought this soup was okay, but not great. The broth was a bit too thick for my taste, and the meat was a little tough.

5 stars! This soup is incredible. It's so rich and flavorful, and the meat is so tender. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure that's just because I didn't adjust the recipe accordingly. Otherwise, it was very good.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover meat, and it's also very affordable.

This was my first time making elephant soup, and it turned out great! I used oxtail instead of elephant meat, and it was still delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender.
