Ingredients

  • 5 cups lean prime rib
  • 6 1/3 cups meat stock (instant)
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups red beets
  • 1 stem of leek
  • 1 cup waxy potatoes
  • 1 cup white cabbage
  • 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Rinse the prime rib and put in a large pot. Add meat stock and bay leaf to the pot, then bring it to a boil. Skim the surface of the broth, then cover pot and let it cook for 90 minutes.
  • Clean the leek, then rinse and slice into rings. Peel, wash, and dice potatoes. Clean the cabbage and cut into bit-sized pieces. Put leek, potatoes, and cabbage into the pot for the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
  • Scoop the red beets out of the soup. Let them cool off for a moment and then slice them into strips. Drizzle lemon juice over it. Let the red beets absorb the lemon juice for a brief moment and put it back into the soup along with the cranberries and chopped walnuts.
