What do I need to make this recipe?
- 1-2 lbs. beef or lamb (depending on how much meat you like in your soup)
- 4 potatoes
- 2 carrots
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2-3 tomatoes
- 4 Tbsp oil
- fresh parsley
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 1-liter water
How to make Hearty Soup:
- In a cast-iron pot, heat 4 Tablespoons of oil.
- Cut the meat into small pieces and add into the pot. Stirring the meat occasionally until it becomes brown (about 10 minutes.)
- While the meat is cooking, peel and wash your vegetables.
- Chop the onions and add to the meat, continue to fry for another 7 minutes or until the onions are soft and clear.
- Chop 2-3 tomatoes and also add them into the pot.
- Now add 4 potatoes and 2 carrots, cut potatoes into smaller pieces and chop the carrots, then add to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add in 1 chopped red pepper and stir.
- Pour in the water, about 4 cups or enough to cover all the ingredients and an extra inch higher. Add in salt ( I add about a teaspoon) and pepper to your taste. Bring to a boil.
- Take off the foam that has gathered on top with a spoon. Add in the washed parsley (whole, not cut), reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about an hour, or until the potatoes are soft and cooked.
- After the potatoes and vegetables are cooked through, remove the parsley, (it was just for flavor) you won’t need it anymore.
The soup is ready, enjoy!
