- on a cold day or after skiing.
- .IH "20 cups" "5 liters"
- .IG "1 lb" "beef soup bones" "500 g"
- (As meaty as possible. Meaty neck or cross-cut shank bones are particularly
- good.)
- .IG "12 cups" "water" "3 l"
- .IG "1" "onion"
- (medium to large, quartered. Don't try to use instant onion
- in this recipe)
- .IG "2 lb" "peeled whole cooking tomatoes" "1 kg"
- (2 large cans)
- .IG "\(14 lb" "fresh green beans" "100 g"
- .IG "2" "small carrots"

- .IG "1 ear" "fresh corn"

- .PH
- .SK 1
- In a large heavy pot, bring
- .AB "12 cups" "3 liters"
- of water to boil.
- .SK 2
- Add beef bones, cover and bring back to full boil.
- .SK 3
- Reduce heat to low simmer. Skim occasionally during first 30 minutes
- to remove scum. Cook for 3\-4 hours until meat is tender and nearly falls
- off of bones.
- .SK 4
- Remove bones from broth. Remove all meat and marrow from bones and return
- to the pot.
- .SK 5
- Add tomatoes (including juice) onion, and herbs. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- .SK 6
- Remove tomatoes, break up into quarters or smaller, and return to the pot.
- Continue to simmer during next step.
- .SK 7
- Clean green beans and break into pieces. Clean carrots and slice into
- thin slices. Slice kernels from ear of corn. Shell peas.
- Add vegetables to pot. Simmer for 30 minutes.
- .SK 8
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
- .NX
- I prefer beef neck or shank bones over what markets call ``soup bones''
- which are nearly devoid of meat.
- Individual-serving size cans of green beans, corn and green peas may be
- substituted if fresh vegetables are not available. These are the basic
- vegetables I use, but I have also added mustard greens, chinese cabbage,
- zucchini and yellow squash (add just 5 minutes before serving or they
- become mush) turnips and any other fall/winter vegetables that look
- good in the market. Serve with cornbread, sourdough or another strong
- flavored bread. This soup improves with age.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy to moderate.
- .I Time:
- Several hours of intermittent attention.
- .I Precision:
- approximate measurement OK.
