Hearty Beefy Veggie Soup

Servings 4 portions
Calories 400 kcal

Ingredients

Beefy Base

  • Beef Asado (or any meaty beef cut with bone)
  • 2 onions roughly chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves smashed
  • 3 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 handful of dried mushrooms
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms (any kind) sliced

Veggie Magic

  • 1 turnip or kohlrabi peeled and chopped
  • 2 parsnips chopped
  • 2 cups pumpkin peeled and cubed (butternut squash works too!)
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 2 zucchinis chopped
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste or “salat adom” (a simple Israeli-style tomato sauce works great)
  • A few sprigs of fresh herbs from your garden – parsley, thyme, dill, whatever you have!

Instructions

Phase One: Build the Beefy Base (Cook for 2 hours)

  1. In a large stockpot, sear the Asado beef on all sides until browned.

  2. Add onions, garlic, and celery. Sauté until softened and aromatic.

  3. Toss in both fresh and dried mushrooms. These create that deep umami flavor we love.

  4. Cover with water (or broth if you're feeling fancy), bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.

  5. Simmer uncovered for about 2 hours, occasionally skimming foam and adjusting seasoning.

Phase Two: Layer in the Veggie Magic (Cook for 3 more hours)

  1. Add the chopped root vegetables first (turnip, parsnip, pumpkin, carrots) and let them simmer for about an hour.

  2. Stir in zucchini and tomato paste or salat adom.

  3. Let everything simmer gently for another 3 hours, until the veggies are melt-in-your-mouth tender and the broth is full-bodied and rich.

  4. Toss in fresh herbs during the last 15 minutes for a fresh, vibrant finish.
