An easily prepared hearty soup that's perfect for a cold autumn day Ingredients:
1lb beef shanks |
1 cup barley |
3 cups beef stock |
1 tbsp tomato paste |
1lb carrots |
1 medium onion |
1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes |
1lb red potatoes |
1 cup green beans |
1 cup corn |
salt and pepper to taste |
1/2 tsp oregano |
1/2 tsp basil |
note: you could really add anything here you wanted, lima beans or the like. |
Directions:
1. Season the beef shank and brown on each side. Set aside.
2. Sautée onions until soft. 5 minutes or so.
3. Add stock and 4-5 cups water, along with carrots and the tomatoes. Add spices. Bring to a boil and lower to simmer. I would leave it simmering for at least 2-3 hours.
4. Prepare barley; add potatoes, green beans and corn.
5. Pull apart beef shank into nice bite-sized pieces.
6. Check to make sure potatoes are done. This should take in the neighborhood of 30-45 minutes.
7. When barley is finished, drain and add to soup.
8. Enjoy!
