Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef short ribs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, sliced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, sliced
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 cups Low-sodium beef broth
• 2 cups Tomatoes, diced
• 2 medium Potatoes, diced
• 2 Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Trim excess fat from the beef short ribs for a lower fat content. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef ribs and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the ribs and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the beef ribs to the pot. Add the low-sodium beef broth, diced tomatoes, diced potatoes, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours until the beef is tender and easily pulls away from the bones.

Step 7

After cooking, skim off any fat that floats on the surface for a lower fat broth.

Step 8

Remove the beef ribs from the pot. Let them cool slightly before removing the meat from the bones. Discard the bones, shred the meat, and return it to the soup.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
