Vegetable Beef Soup

[Gonna Smoke]

Well Im about to break down a rib roast and I think I now know what Im doing with the ribs.

Looks great.

Thanks a bunch, Brian. I have a few racks in the freezer from breaking down rib roasts this past Christmas, too. Hmmm, what to do with them...

Today was rainy and windy, but the front has moved out and tonight the temps are going to drop into the low 20s which is cold for us. What better thing to cook than soup? Digging around in a freezer this morning, I found a rack of beef back ribs that maybe I had forgotten about. Placed the vac sealed rack in a sink of water to thaw and a plan was hatched, I was going to make a pot of soup so here we go...

The main attraction for this party...

After several hours, I removed all the ribs and the meat from them. Allowed the broth to cool some to de-fat...

Then I brought the broth back up to a boil to reduce while I got the other stuff ready.

Now it's time to make soup. Some more invitees to the party...

After adding the meat back into the pot, I added a little EVOO to the other pot and sauteed the carrots and onions for just a few minutes. While I was doing that, the potatoes needed to be peeled and I had a volunteer...
