Caraway Beef Soup

"You know how good a sandwich tastes, any sandwich at all, but particularly a roast beef sandwich on rye, with caraway? That’s what’s going on in this soup. It’s what I’d eat if I were a weary, homesick Scandinavian spending time in Texas. Inexpensive, satisfying and, a nice change from Beef and Barley."

directions

  • In a large pot, saute shin bones or steak in a small amount of oil, until they brown.
  • Remove from pot and set aside.
  • Saute onions, celery and carrots , until they begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes, over medium-high heat.
  • Add garlic, and saute for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add water, whatever beef product your little heart has desired, and bring to a boil.
  • Let it boil for several minutes until some of the “scum” has collected at the top.
  • Now is the time to skim, skim, skim! Get rid of those impurities.
  • Add all remaining ingredients at this point, let boil for about 5 minutes, then drop to a simmer for 1 1/2 – 2 hours.
  • Serve with a good, crusty bread.

  1. Super soup. Italian DH is now a caraway-flavor fan. Because we like a more liquid soup, I halved the amount of lentils and barley. Thanks for the posting; this is a real winner.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Culinary school drop-out (happy cook)! My name is Meg, as my public name might suggest, and I'm 20 years old. So far, I've been a cook my whole life, at home and in restaurants, working as a Baker's Assistant right now. I was raised in a commercial bakery and general store as well run by my aunt and mom. I'm engaged to an amazing guy, who I met in high school in a restaurant prep course. We both went to college for Culinary Arts/Chef Training, but neither found the program very satisfying. As it stands, we're both happiest cooking, so long as it's not in a kitchen lab. I've been nosing around 'Zaar since I was about 13 or 14, and it's been a huge source of learning for me, back when I didn't even know what a roux was, haha. If you've seen me around before, I'm the former SugarMegnolia. Also, I write a blog, however, I'm not always the best at keeping up with it, but try to put in my best effort whenever I get around to writing. The link is here, please give it a quick look-see!
