Hearty vegetable stew in savory beef broth, finished with a touch of cream.
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds beef soup bones
  • 2 quarts water, or more as needed
  • 12 carrots, chopped
  • 6 potatoes, cubed
  • 1 head cabbage, finely chopped
  • 3 onions, minced
  • 1.5 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 10 whole allspice berries
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 0.5 star anise
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1.5 cups chopped tomato
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
  • In a large pot, simmer beef soup bones in water over medium-high heat until tender, about 1 1/2 hours, adding more water if needed to keep it at the 2-quart level. Discard bones, strain broth into a new pot, and heat on the stove.
  • Combine carrots, potatoes, cabbage, onions, parsley, allspice berries, bay leaf, star anise, salt, and pepper in the pot. Cook for approximately 20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Add tomatoes, bring soup back to a boil, and serve in individual bowls garnished with a dollop of heavy cream.
