Sopa de Carne (Meat Soup)
Warm your soul tonight with a bowl of Sopa de Carne, a hearty Mexican classic that will fill you with comfort and flavor!
Begin by finely chopping the onion and garlic.
In a large pot, add the beef and cover it with 8 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and skim off any foam that rises to the top.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot, along with salt and pepper to taste.
Peel and chop the potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces, and add them to the pot.
Chop the tomato and bell pepper, then add them as well. Allow everything to simmer for about 30 minutes.
Just before serving, chop the cilantro and squeeze the lime over the soup for a fresh taste.
Let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors before serving hot.
