Caraway Beef Soup image

You know how good a sandwich tastes, any sandwich at all, but particularly a roast beef sandwich on rye, with caraway? That's what's going on in this soup. It's what I'd eat if I were a weary, homesick Scandinavian spending time in Texas. Inexpensive, satisfying and, a nice change from Beef and Barley.

Yield 1 pot of soup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 -3 lbs beef shins or 2 -3 lbs about 1- 1 . 5 lbs steak, cubed
2 small onions, small dice
2 stalks celery, small dice
2 carrots, sliced on a small bias
4 garlic cloves, minced
8 cups water
1/2 cup green lentil
1/2 cup pearl barley
3 teaspoons paprika
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons caraway seeds

salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot, saute shin bones or steak in a small amount of oil, until they brown.
  • Remove from pot and set aside.
  • Saute onions, celery and carrots , until they begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes, over medium-high heat.
  • Add garlic, and saute for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add water, whatever beef product your little heart has desired, and bring to a boil.
  • Let it boil for several minutes until some of the "scum" has collected at the top.
  • Now is the time to skim, skim, skim! Get rid of those impurities.
  • Add all remaining ingredients at this point, let boil for about 5 minutes, then drop to a simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
  • Serve with a good, crusty bread.

This soup is fantastic! I used my own homemade beef broth, and it made the soup even more flavorful. I also added some chopped carrots and celery, and it turned out great.
