Instructions
- Place the short ribs in a large soup pot or dutch oven. Add the water and bring to a boil. After boiling for several minutes, skim off any scum that rises to the top.
- Add the bouquet garni, onions, and carrots. Cook at a simmer, uncovered, until the meat is tender – approximately 1 1/2 hours.
- Add the beans, celery, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Continue cooking for 30 minutes.
- Remove the meat and set it aside. Discard the bouquet garni, carrots, and onions. Add the okra and rice and continue to simmer until the rice is cooked – approximately 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- When cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve soup with some of the meat and a garnish of finely diced fresh tomatoes.
