Beef soup is a hearty dish made by simmering beef, vegetables, and seasonings in water or broth. Common ingredients include carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery, which add flavor and nutrition. The beef can be cut into chunks or used as bones to create a rich, savory broth. This comforting meal is often enjoyed during colder months and can be served on its own or with bread. Variations of beef soup exist worldwide, with each culture adding its unique twist, such as Mexican beef soup or Korean beef soup, showcasing different spices and cooking methods.
