Beef Soup with Soup Bones

This recipe uses soup bones.  This is important because the slow cooking process releases collagen into the soup which adds some very healthy fat and helps give the soup a very delicate and delicious flavor.  This is essentially the “old school” way to make soup and you will be able to tell a difference from normal beef stew.   This nourishing soup is excellent for people with digestive troubles or who need an easy to digest meal that is still very high in nutrients.

 

1 lb beef soup bones

1 large onion

3 large carrots

16oz frozen green beans

Redmond Real Salt to taste

1 tablespoon thyme

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 bayleafs

 

Put soup bones, onion, carrot, beans and bay leafs in a slow cooker and fill with filtered water until the food is just submerged.  Cook on high for 5 hours.  Turn off heat. Remove soup bones from pot and separate bone from meat.  Remove excess fat and slice the meat into ½ inch cubes and return to pot.  Add remaining seasonings and stir well.
