Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, peeled and cubed
3 carrots, cut into 3-inch pieces
1 large tomato, almost quartered but not cut apart at bottom
3 potatoes, peeled and diced, kept in cold water
3 pounds beef shoulder, ribs, or stew meat (fat removed)
3 pieces (about 2 pounds) marrow bones
1 3-pound chicken, cleaned and quartered
Up to 5 quarts water
10-12 cloves garlic, unpeeled
9 small white onions
1 large white turnip, quartered but unpeeled
4 leeks or 8 green onions, coarsely cut
1 small bunch fresh parsley or fresh coriander, woody stems trimmed away
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon hawayij (Yemenite spices), or to taste
Equipment
Storage cups for refrigerating
Covered soup kettle
Large slotted spoon

Steps:

  • Child: Store the celery, zucchini, carrots, tomato, and potatoes in separate covered containers in the refrigerator until you need them the next day. The potatoes must be in cold water or they will turn a terrible gray color.
  • Adult with Child: Place the beef and chicken in a large kettle with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, until a froth forms. Remove the meat and bones and discard the water. Clean the kettle.
  • Child: Put the beef and bones back in the kettle and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil again. Lower the heat and add the unpeeled garlic cloves (by being left in their skins, they won't soften in cooking). Add the onions, turnip, and leeks or green onions. Cook, covered, about 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat seems fairly tender.
  • Adult: Remove the marrow bones, add the chicken, cover, and simmer another 20 minutes. Let cool and refrigerate overnight.
  • Child: Bring the soup to a boil. Add the celery, zucchini, carrots, tomato, and potatoes. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer another 20 minutes. Just before serving, add the parsley or coriander, salt, and hawayij, and cook, covered, for a few minutes.
  • Adult: Remove the garlic cloves. Adjust the seasonings.
  • Eat by dipping bread into the soup, scooping up the meat and vegetables and/or the sauce.

This soup is a bit too salty for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it again with less salt.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this soup. The flavors are very well-balanced.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lamb. It's also a very affordable meal.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. Maybe I didn't add enough salt?

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as flavorful as I had hoped. I think I might have added too much water.

I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but this soup changed my mind. The meat was so flavorful and juicy, and the broth was incredibly flavorful.

This soup is a true delight! The flavors are so rich and complex, and the lamb is fall-off-the-bone tender. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly.
