Nadan Beef Soup- Traditional Kerala Style Beef Soup









Whenever you are not feeling good or whenever you feel like not eating anything, then soups can provide you with the right nutrition. Usually my mom used to give me soups when I had a cold or a fever. It does give a lot of relief to you when you are suffering from a cold.


Nadan Beef Soup is something which every household in Kerala is familiar with. Cooking a traditional beef soup is very simple. You simply need to put in a little bit of effort and lots of love. That’s it ;)


Usually a nadan soup is not loaded with meat. It gets that extra flavor when you add in the bone part too. If you prefer to make it with the meat part alone, then you will get a thicker version of the soup. But here I prefer the lighter version which often looks like beef stalk.


Ingredients


·         Beef – ¼ kg
·         Bone pieces- ½ kg
·         Onions- 2 large
·         Pepper powder – ½ tsp
·         Water
·         Salt


Method


·         Clean the beef pieces and bone pieces well
·         Take a pressure cooker and put the beef pieces as well as the bone pieces to it
·         Now cut the onions and add them into the pressure cooker
·         Add the right quantity of salt
·         Add in the pepper powder
·         Add one to two cups of water
·         Close the lid
·         Allow the ingredients to cook well in slow flame.
·         Make sure you lower the flame after a single whistle
·         The cooking process will take some time, as the beef pieces need to be cooked well
·         Open the lid after 20 min of slow cooking
·         Add in some more amount of water. 2 -3 cups can be added
·         Now boil the soup of 10 minutes on large flame. Do not close the lid
·         Switch off the flame after 10 minutes
·         Strain the soup with the help of a steel strainer
·         Check salt and pepper
·         Your clear nadan soup is ready to be served
·         Add the cooked beef pieces to the bowl and serve hot
·         Serve with bread toast
