There are 2 ways to make beef soup;
Step 1. One is with beef bones browned in the oven, roughly chopped veggies placed on top of them & then, the whole thing, grease & all, is dumped into a big stock pot, (deglaze pan) cold water to cover & a bouquet garnie is added. On high heat, let the water come to a boil, then reduce the heat to just barely simmer. Slow cook for 7to 8 hours or overnight.
Next day, degrease the stock & strain the bones & veggies from the liquid stock. Use as a base for your favorite soup.
Step 2. Brown 1 or 2 beef shank bones in large stock pot. Or Dutch Oven, as you would with a pot roast. Add chopped veggies, all except carrots & taters. Add cold water to cover & let simmer for a few hours or until meat around bones is fork-tender. Add frozen mixed veggies, 1/2 cup barley, carrots, taters & seasonings. Enjoy!!
