Beef Burgundy Soup

Beef Burgundy Soup


1. In a large pot, heat half the oil over medium heat.

2. Add bacon and saute until crispy, about 5 minutes.

3. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels; set aside.

4. Season beef with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Add to the pot, in two batches, and saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch, adding the remaining oil between batches.

6. Remove with a slotted spoon to a warm plate.

7. Add onions, carrots, and celery to the pot; decrease heat, if necessary to keep the bottom from burning.

8. Saute until vegetables start to soften, about 4 minutes.

9. Add garlic, potatoes, thyme, basil, and bay leaf; saute for 2 minutes.

10. Add wine and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot.

11. Return beef and any accumulated juices to the pot and add stock; bring to a boil.

12. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until beef is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

13. Discard bay leaf and stir in vinegar.

14. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

15. Serve in warmed bowls; garnish with reserved bacon and parsley (can serve soup over rice, if desired).
