Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds beef ribs (bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 apple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks (green apple for a hint of tartness works best)
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Sear the Beef Ribs

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the beef ribs with salt and pepper. Sear them on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

  1. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3: Build the Broth

  1. Return the seared beef ribs to the pot.
  2. Add the beef broth, water, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Step 4: Add the Vegetables

  1. Stir in the carrots and apple chunks. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the apple has softened, adding a natural sweetness to the broth.

Step 5: Adjust Seasoning and Serve

  1. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  2. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Bone-In Beef Ribs: These add extra flavor to the broth, but boneless ribs work just as well.
  • Apple Variety: Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a subtle tang, or sweet apples like Fuji for a richer sweetness.
  • Storage: This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days and freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
