🥘 Ingredients

4 lbs. of shin of beef, 3 carrots, 2 turnips, a large sprig of thyme, 2 onions, 1 head of celery, salt and pepper to taste, 4 quarts water.

👨‍🍳 Method

Take the beef, cut off all the meat from the bone, in nice square pieces, and boil the bone for 4 hours. Strain the liquor, let it cool, and take off the fat; then put the pieces of meat in the cold liquor; cut small the carrots, turnips, and celery; chop the onions, add them with the thyme and seasoning, and simmer till the meat is tender. If not brown enough, colour it with browning.

A heritage recipe worth resurrecting

I tried my hand at Brilla Soup this week, eager to experience a taste of Victorian comfort in my modern kitchen. I found the process surprisingly soothing, the slow simmer filling my apartment with a warmth that was almost as comforting as the scent of the herbs and vegetables melding together. The most delightful surprise was how tender the beef became after hours of gentle cooking. The meat fell apart effortlessly, infusing the broth with a richness that I didn't expect from such a simple list of ingredients. This soup is perfect for the modern comfort-seeker who has time on their hands during the weekend. The long cooking time is a meditative process, and the result is a deeply satisfying, hearty soup. I served it with some crusty bread and a glass of red wine, and it was the perfect antidote to a chilly evening. The next day, the flavors had melded even more, making it an excellent meal-prep option for the week.
