A comforting and savory beef soup, rich in flavor and perfect for family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef shank or short ribs, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 2 ears corn, each cut into thirds
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Place the beef chunks in a large pot and add the water. Heat over medium-high until boiling, skimming off any impurities.
  2. Add Aromatics: Add the quartered onion and whole peppercorns to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer the mixture for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender.

  4. Combine the Final Ingredients: Stir in the green beans, salt, and fish sauce (if using). Cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the green beans are vibrant and tender.
  5. Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Allow to Rest: Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions.
