1 -2 lb beef soup bone, with meat on it
2 medium onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Place beef bone in a large soup pot and cover with water.

  • Cut the meat off the bone and discard bone.
  • If time permits, let the broth sit in the fridge overnight so that fat hardens.

  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, salt and pepper.
  • Simmer until all vegetables are tender.
  • If broth is not flavourful enough, add some beef bouillon.

  • Continue cooking until soup is hot.
  • Serve in soup bowls.
  • If desired, add some sour cream or cream to your bowl.
