I hear there’s a big buzz about bone broth.
Everyone seems to be raving about its health benefits, from minerals, proteins to good skin and gut health.
Not to offend anyone but our grandmothers and moms have been serving these type of beef bone marrow vegetable soups for years.
Ask them and they’ll just laugh and tell us, its more practical and common sense cooking to use the bones of any type of meat for soups and that they’ve done it for years and years.
They might find all these ravings too much because to them it had always been about using every scrap of meat, beef bones and vegetables without waste.

Beginner’s tips on making the
vegetable soup with bones.
- You need an equal amount of meat and bones to get the right balance.
- Where to buy beef soup bones? Ask about the best cuts for a bone broth soup from your neighborhood butcher he’ll give you the right mix of both beef on bone parts.
- I know you’ll be tempted to add your own ingredients but keep in mind none of the spices or herbs you use here should overwhelm the natural flavors already there. if you leave the bones and meat to cook long, this will enhance and elevate the soup on its own.
- No Tomatoes?
Not this time, too much of it can overwhelm the base, too little, well the purpose is lost.
Keep in mind, everything about this soup is big and chunky, especially the beef bones, so make sure you have a pot or pan to stir the ingredients.
Can I use a slow cooker or pressure cooker
to make the chunky vegetable soup?

how to make the beef bone broth.
Wash the bones with the meat and leave it to strain excess water.
Use a large pan that can hold the beef bones chunky vegetables.
keep in mind, if the pan is not big or deep enough, moving the ingredients around will be difficult.
While the pot is on medium heat, pour in the oil then add the sliced Onions and Garlic, once Onions start caramelizing, place the bones and the meat, add a pinch of salt.
Combine and braise the bones and onions together, this should be done for at least 10-15 minutes without the onions burning for maximum flavor for the beef bone soup.
Add turmeric, Cumin powder, Bay leaves, crushed Peppercorns with the whole peppercorns and Honey to the mixture of onions and bones, combine and continue to braise the beef bones and spices for a further 5 minutes.
Add the Potatoes and Carrots, then leave it to cook for another 5 minutes while mixing everything that you’ve incorporated so far.
After all the ingredients have been gently braising, pour in the water, season with salt, add more water if you need to cover all the ingredients.
Cover and slow simmer for 3 to 4 hours.
While the soup with the bones slow cooks, you’ll notice a layer of fat and a kind of brownish foam appearing on the top, remove this with a spoon or you can do what I do which is to use a large strainer, just make sure to wash the strainer with hot water to get rid of the oil on it.
Cook the beef broth vegetable soup until the root vegetables and beef are tender.
The broth consistency depends on how thick or thin you want it, there are no thickeners like Coconut milk, the broth will be thin even when it’s reduced.
check to make sure there is enough salt and serve warm.
