Soup Sunday- Asian Beef Soup

“Cooking demands attention, patience, and above all a respect for the gifts of the earth. It is a form of worship, a way of giving thanks.”  - Judith B. Jones, American Cookbook author and editor

It's soup weather again. It has been chilly and rainy all week. This morning it was 31 F.  So I am back to making a batch of soup every week for my lunches.  I had this simmering on the stove while I was doing the rest of my cooking on Saturday.  I used rice noodles, but you can use rice if you like that better. Like any recipe feel free to adjust the spices and ingredients to suit your tastes.

Asian Beef Soup


1 pound beef stew meet cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 cups beef broth
¼ cup rice wine vinegar

1 ½ cups sliced mushrooms
1 ½ cups julienned carrots
1 cup sliced bok choy
