Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, peeled and cubed
3 carrots, cut into 3-inch pieces
1 large tomato, almost quartered but not cut apart at bottom
3 potatoes, peeled and diced, kept in cold water
3 pounds beef shoulder, ribs, or stew meat (fat removed)
3 pieces (about 2 pounds) marrow bones
1 3-pound chicken, cleaned and quartered
Up to 5 quarts water
10-12 cloves garlic, unpeeled
9 small white onions
1 large white turnip, quartered but unpeeled
4 leeks or 8 green onions, coarsely cut
1 small bunch fresh parsley or fresh coriander, woody stems trimmed away
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon hawayij (Yemenite spices), or to taste
Equipment
Storage cups for refrigerating
Covered soup kettle
Large slotted spoon

Steps:

  • Child: Store the celery, zucchini, carrots, tomato, and potatoes in separate covered containers in the refrigerator until you need them the next day. The potatoes must be in cold water or they will turn a terrible gray color.
  • Adult with Child: Place the beef and chicken in a large kettle with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, until a froth forms. Remove the meat and bones and discard the water. Clean the kettle.
  • Child: Put the beef and bones back in the kettle and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil again. Lower the heat and add the unpeeled garlic cloves (by being left in their skins, they won't soften in cooking). Add the onions, turnip, and leeks or green onions. Cook, covered, about 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat seems fairly tender.
  • Adult: Remove the marrow bones, add the chicken, cover, and simmer another 20 minutes. Let cool and refrigerate overnight.
  • Child: Bring the soup to a boil. Add the celery, zucchini, carrots, tomato, and potatoes. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer another 20 minutes. Just before serving, add the parsley or coriander, salt, and hawayij, and cook, covered, for a few minutes.
  • Adult: Remove the garlic cloves. Adjust the seasonings.
  • Eat by dipping bread into the soup, scooping up the meat and vegetables and/or the sauce.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it a day or two ahead of time and then just reheat it when you're ready to serve.

This soup was absolutely delicious! I made it for my family and they all loved it. The lamb was so tender and the broth was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were all there and the lamb was very tender. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This soup is a true delight! The flavors are rich and complex, and the lamb is fall-off-the-bone tender. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again for my family and friends.
