Beef Soup

I love my mom’s beef soup! This soup is seriously delicious and packed with flavor, making it a perfect choice for any meat lover. It’s also incredibly easy to make, so even if you’re not a master chef, you can still whip up a pot of soup that’s sure to impress your friends and family. 

To make this soup, you’ll need a few key ingredients: a good cut of chuck roast, some marrow bones, and a few simple vegetables. Chuck roast is a great choice for soups and stews because it’s flavorful and tender, and it has just the right amount of fat to give the soup a rich taste without being too greasy. The marrow bones, meanwhile, add a ton of richness to the broth and make it extra flavorful. 

To start, you’ll want to cut the chuck roast into small pieces and place it in a large pot with the marrow bones. Cover the meat with water, salt, and pepper, and add a dollop of tomato paste for extra flavor. Then, let the soup simmer for a few hours until the meat is tender and falling apart. 

Once the meat is cooked through, you’ll want to strain the broth and remove the bones. Then, add in some chopped onions, celery, and carrots to give the soup some extra flavor and texture. You can add as much or as little of these vegetables as you like, depending on your taste. My mom used to leave the celery stocks, whole carrots, and onions in large pieces then served them on the side as the vegetable.  If you have a picky eater that refuses to eat the vegetables, you can do this then you will just serve the soup itself with pasta and meat.

Finally, you’ll want to boil up some pasta and add it to the soup. I like to use small pasta shapes like macaroni or shells, but you can use whatever you like. Just make sure to cook the pasta separately and then add it to the soup at the end, otherwise it can get mushy and overcooked. If you want the broth to be a little thicker, cook the pasta right in the broth.  The starches will thicken it, but be aware, you will need more broth than you would normally realize.

And that’s it! You now have a delicious pot of beef soup that’s sure to warm you up and leave you feeling satisfied. Serve it hot with some crusty bread and butter for a complete meal that’s perfect for any occasion. Of course, you can always customize this recipe to suit your taste. 

If you like your soup extra spicy, add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can always experiment with different vegetables or seasonings to make the recipe your own.  The broth is the base for our beef vegetable soup as well.  Just add any mixed vegetables that you llike – fresh or frozen – instead of the pasta. 

Whatever you do, just remember to take your time and let the soup simmer for a few hours to let all the flavors develop. This is a slow-cooked dish that’s meant to be savored and enjoyed, so don’t rush it!

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
