Description

A hearty and comforting soup made with tender beef, sweet carrots, and mild radish in a savory broth. Perfect for cold days or when you need a nourishing, wholesome meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef shank or stew meat, cut into chunks
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium daikon radish, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  • In a large pot, combine the beef, water, onion, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
  • Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  • Remove the onion and garlic from the broth. Add the carrots and daikon radish to the pot. Continue to simmer for 20–30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use beef bones or oxtail instead of stew meat.
  • Add a dash of soy sauce or fish sauce for extra umami.
  • Serve with steamed rice for a complete meal.
