Instructions

  1. Cook the beef: Add the beef and water to a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Once the broth starts to boil, remove all the impurities from the top. If you don't, you'll get a cloudy dark soup, instead of a nice clear broth.
  2. Reduce to a simmer, cover the pot and cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. You need to cook this until the beef is tender. Once the beef is done remove it from the broth, keep the broth.
  3. Saute veggies: In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste and the diced tomatoes. Add the beef bouillon or vegeta.
  4. Add beef, cauliflower and simmer: Add the cauliflower and cooked beef to the pot. Add the beef broth (from cooking the beef) and stir. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes.
  5. Add Zucchini, lemon juice and cook for 10 more minutes: Stir in the zucchini and lemon juice. Cook for another 10 minutes or until the zucchini is tender.
  6. Add egg: Pour the egg mixture into the soup and quickly stir. You will notice the soup thickening up a bit, the egg will cook instantly.
  7. Garnish and serve: Garnish with parsley and serve with sour cream and pickled hot peppers.

Notes

  • If you watch the video, you'll notice I cooked my beef in an instant pot to speed up the cooking process. If you have an instant pot, cook it for 20 minutes on the meat or manual setting.
