Method:
Stock (Bouillon)
Bring 4 litres of water to
the boil in a large stock pot. Add the beef bones
and reduce the heat to simmer. If the bones are
lean of meat and fat, add a 300gm chunk of beef
to the stock along with the bones. Simmer for
two hours.
After one hour, add one medium
sized peeled carrot, cut into two pieces, and
one onion, peeled but left whole. The onion is
added for flavour but also to make the stock as
clear as possible.
Continue to cook the stock
at a slow boil for approximately one more hour
after adding the vegetables.
When the stock has boiled
gently for two hours it can be drained through
a fine sieve to remove the carrot, onion, meat
and bone. Keep the meat and bones, and return
the clear soup to the pot and place back on the
stove.
Remove the meat and marrow
from the bone and add back into the stock. Add
salt to taste. Continue to cook at a low boil.
Soup
Peel and slice the onion. In
a frying pan, add enough cooking oil to cover
the bottom and heat. Add the onion and cook until
golden. Cut the beetroot and carrot into julienne
strips. Add to the onion mix.
At the same time as the onion mix
is cooking, peel and cube the potato and add to
the stock, cooking for around 10 minutes.
Mix in the contents from one tin
of Campbell's soup into the stock, and enough
water as suggested on the instructions on the
can. Continue to simmer for 10 more minutes.
Add half of the cooked vegetable
mix and place the other half in sieve suspended
in the soup for 5-10 minutes to add extra flavour.
OR
Add all the cooked vegetables, simmer
for 5-10 minutes and remove half the vegetables
at the end.
Serving
Serve in bowls with a dollop
of sour cream.
