I make my own beef stock, starting w/ roasting beef bones smeared w/ a
little tomato paste in a hot oven. (The paste will caramelize). Next, bring
the
bones to a simmer in a stock pot and cook all day. Drain and cool stock,
skimming off any fat. (A little burgundy added here would be good).
Next day...
I prefer beef cubes made of top round roast for soup. Brown them in a
little oil. Sweat some onions, carrots and celery in the bottom of a dutch
over.
Add stock. Add browned beef cubes. Add browned bits from the pan you
browned the meat in and the sheet pan you roasted the bones on. Simmer on low
(or
place covered in a slow oven or alternately, use a crock pot) until you can
pull the beef apart with 2 forks. By now, the vegetables you started with
have melted into nothing, so next I add a bag of frozen petite carrots and a
bag
of frozen cleaned pearl onions. I like to add dried mushrooms for richness.
Re-hydrate a combination of dried mushrooms, being careful to keep the
water you re-hydrated them in, add mushrooms to soup, strain liquid through a
coffee filter and add "mushroom water" to the pot. Add barley. Simmer until
vegetables and barley are cooked through. Season to taste.
Ok, here's my problem when it comes to soup....my eyes are bigger than the
pot!!!! Friends can tell you I run out of room in the pot when making soup,
lol:)
If this happens to use, before you add the barely and vegetables, the stock
with the beef freezes well. (I don't think the
carrots/onions/mushrooms/barley taste good after being frozen, and the carrots
aren't pretty, so split the
base, freeze some and keep going <G>.
