Short Description

Tender beef tips are simmered with potatoes, carrots, celery, and fresh herbs in a creamy broth, then finished with blue cheese for a rich and flavourful soup.

Ingredients

1 lb of beef tips

3 oz vegetable oil

½ onion, diced

2 celery ribs diced

8 oz carrot, diced

2 garlic cloves diced

2 lbs potato peeled and diced small

1 qt water

2 tablespoons chicken base

1 oz fresh herbs chopped

1 qt heavy cream

½ lb of blue cheese

1 pinch of salt & pepper

Preparation

Cut the beef tips into ¼ inch by ¼ inch pieces, quickly sauté them in a little oil, then remove from the pan and let them cool.


In the same pan, add more oil and sauté the onions, celery, carrots, salt, and pepper until they are soft and colourful. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes to prevent burning.


Add the herbs and sauté for 30 seconds, then deglaze with water. Add the chicken base and 1 lb of potatoes, allowing it to simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.


Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then puree with an immersion blender. Add the cream and the remaining 1 lb of potatoes, cooking until the potatoes are tender. Let the soup thicken, and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.


Finally, add the blue cheese and beef, and mix well.
