Meat Soup

Meat, usually with a foot or bones, blanched in a first boil and simmered for hours with vegetables, sometimes with chickpeas; the meat is taken off the bones and returned to the soup, which is seasoned at the end. Boneless meat is seared in the pot first.

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Put the meat in a clean pot with the water and add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and bay leaves.
    Pot
  2. 2
    Bring to a boil and skim off the foam. Turn down to low and simmer 3–4 hours, until the meat is tender.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡Skim off the foam that rises at the boil, and after that only a gentle simmer: a hard boil clouds the soup and toughens the meat.
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Remove the meat from the soup, take it off the bones and return the meat to the soup.
  4. 4
    Season the soup with salt and black pepper.
