Soup with beans and meat

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To make soup with beans and meat, you will need a simple set of products: meat, beans, vegetables, tomato sauce and herbs.

2. Step 2:

   

   Before you start cooking the soup, prepare the beans in advance. Beans should be filled with cold water in the evening and left to soak until morning.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the meat in the pan. You can use beef, veal or lamb. Add a medium-sized onion and a celery stalk in order to get a richer, tasty and healthy broth. Pour two liters of cold water and put on high heat under a closed lid.

4. Step 4:

   

   Drain the beans. In a separate small saucepan, boil the beans until tender (it will take about 50-60 minutes).

5. Step 5:

   

   After boiling water in a saucepan with meat, remove the resulting foam with a large spoon. Add salt, reduce the heat to medium and cook the meat under a half-closed lid for at least an hour and a half (until the meat becomes soft).

6. Step 6:

   

   Flip the finished beans into a colander.

7. Step 7:

   

   Remove the boiled meat from the broth, remove the onion and celery from the pan with a spoon and throw it away (alternatively, strain the broth).

8. Step 8:

   

   Prepare the vegetables. Peel onions, carrots and potatoes and rinse under running water. Carrots and onions cut into small pieces (carrots can be grated).

10. Step 9:

    

    Potatoes cut into small cubes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Return the pot with the broth to a high heat, send the beans, potatoes, tomato sauce, onions and carrots to the broth.

12. Step 11:

    

    Mix the contents of the pan, add bay leaf if desired. After boiling, cook all the ingredients over medium heat until the potatoes are ready (about 15-20 minutes).

13. Step 12:

    

    Cut the slightly cooled meat into medium-sized pieces.

14. Step 13:

    

    When the soup is ready, make the fire under the pan at the strongest. Send the chopped meat and finely chopped greens into a saucepan.

15. Step 14:

    

    If desired, you can add chopped or pressed garlic. After the first signs of boiling, turn off the fire, cover the pan with a lid and leave the soup to infuse for a while.
