CHAOS must be the cool hipster clan, you guys post poetry and movie reviews and shit while 90% of the other clans here post about boner soup.
Don't be fooled, boner soup is absolutely not beneath this thread. In fact...
BONER SOUP1 large soup bone. Or small. Just how you like it, anyway. I guess it depends on the size of the pot ;)
2 medium onions, peeled sensually and chopped. Everybody cries the first time.
3 cups
beef broth.
1/2 cup mushrooms. You can keep the caps on the stems.
Some beef. Almost a pound. Shank or chuck. Maybe a loin cut?
3 medium carrots. Trim these down into small pieces.
2 stalks celery.
1 cup white wine, a dry one. Cooking with wine makes everything easier. You can even put it in the food!
Some bay leaves. Remember to take these out at the end, they'll make you gag if you try to swallow.
Some thyme, chopped up.
A couple cans of navy beans. Gotta drain the beans.
Pepper to taste, black of course.
Chopped parsely if you like.
Cube the beef, put it in a skillet. Get it nice and brown. (If you use a dutch oven you can save time and use it for this step, too) Transfer to a pot, stir in broth, wine, thyme, pepper and bay leaf. Add the soup bone. Get it boiling and reduce the heat. Put a lid on that and slow simmer for under an hour, 'til the beef is almost tender. Don't forget to give her a stir every now and then. Add the beans, carrots and celery. Cover and simmer again for about 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaf (see above), pull out the bone. Sprinkle with parsley. Or bacon. Serve it how you like, of course.
Serves 8, satisfies 4.
