ingredients
- 2 lbs beef shank (want to have a bone)
- 1 lb stewing beef
- 4 cups tomato juice (V-8 vegetable juice)
- 4 cups water
- 1⁄2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 (1 lb) can stewed tomatoes
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup carrot, chopped
- 1 cup red potatoes, diced
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup corn (I use fresh or frozen super sweet white)
directions
- Combine the first nine ingredients in a large soup kettle.
- Cover and simmer for two hours.
- Strain broth and skim off excess fat.*
- Cut meat from bones into large cubes. Discard bones, return meat to broth.
- Add celery, carrots and potatoes; cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes.
- Add fresh or frozen corn and peas, cook an additional 5-10 minutes.
- *I cool the strained broth, covered in the kettle, till the fat solidifies; then scoop it off the top! Often, I will do this much of the soup a day in advance, then finish it with the vegetables the following day.
