My favorite winter soup, I made my first attempt yesterday. So the homemade beef stock
3# of soup bones
.75# leeks cleaned
1# carrot cleaned
.5# celery
10 cups water
I sauteed the soup bones and scraped the marrow out. Roasted them at 275F for 45 mins. I chopped my veggies added them all to a stock pot and boiled away with bay leaves rosemary and oregano.
Sliced 6 medium white onions
And in 4tbsp of olive oil & 6 tbsp sweet cream butter - homemade if I have the time
Cooked them down for 15 mins with the lid on then add salt pepper and sugar. Cook for another 30 mins stirring every 5 mins
Add a tablespoon of unbleached flour, red wine and deglaze the pan, bring to a simmer then add 8 cups of beef stock and another bunch of rosemary, oregano, bay leaf and thyme
