Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beef Bones: Begin by placing the beef bones in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, discard the water and any impurities that have surfaced. Repeat this process twice to ensure the bones are clean and ready for cooking.
-
Cook the Bones: For the third and final boil, return the beef bones to the pot. Add the smashed ginger and garlic, which will infuse the broth with their aromatic flavors. Cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the bones are tender, which may take approximately 1-2 hours.
-
Add Vegetables: Once the beef bones are tender, add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, green onions, and celery to the pot. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.
-
Season the Soup: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and your preferred seasoning to taste. Adjust the seasoning as necessary to suit your taste preferences.
-
Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy the rich, hearty flavors of this traditional beef bone soup!
