Yield 6 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 quarts water
3 smooth clean stones (optional)
2 Tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 dozen fresh carrots, stems removed
1 head cabbage
1 1/2 lbs. sirloin beef with bones (ex: 4 T-bone steaks)
1/2 dozen large potatoes, cut in quarters
1 cup barley (optional)
1 cup whole milk or cream (optional)
1 large clove fresh garlic
1 large fresh onion, cut in half
5 sprigs cilantro, flat parsley, or oregano

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil, adding salt. Add beef, barley, onion, and garlic. Cook 30 minutes or until fork tender. Cut vegetables into large bite-sizes, and add to pot. Return to boil and simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables and barley are tender. Add milk/cream. (optional) Finish with sprigs and pepper. Let stand covered 10 minutes. Serve optionally with bread, a roast, and cider! Cook's note: I usually do not add milk because the soup tastes the same plus it looks milky. Cook's note 2: I like to add barley or Mexican rice because it adds more flavor.
