Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Bring beef soup bones and water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, adding more water, as necessary, to maintain the 2 quart level. Remove and discard the soup bones, then strain the broth into a fresh pot, and return to the stove.
- Stir in the carrots, potatoes, cabbage, onions, parsley, allspice berries, bay leaf, star anise, salt, and pepper. Cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and return soup to a boil. Serve individual bowls of soup topped with heavy cream.

I made this with chicken instead of beef. Personal preference. Didn't have allspice berries or star anise. Used home canned tomatoes, fresh dill and it was excellent. Reminds me of my childh...

I'm giving this 5 stars, but I used this as a basis to make my own Cabbage Borscht. Made 1/2 of the recipe, and was using up some things I had in the cupboard, like stew meat (I rolled in flour...

When I make soup with bones I boil the bones for at least a day and overnight to get all the nutrients out of the bones - good for the stomach. It was a good healthy soup but it seemed very blan...
