Print Recipe

A hearty soup with tender ribs and savory cornmeal dumplings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Season short ribs with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the short ribs over medium-high heat. Remove ribs and set aside.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. Return ribs to the pot. Add beef broth, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until ribs are tender.
  6. While the soup simmers, prepare the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  7. In a separate small bowl, whisk together milk and egg.
  8. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Once ribs are tender, remove them from the pot. Shred the meat from the bones and return the meat to the soup.
  10. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering soup.
  11. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through.
  12. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can sear the ribs in a little oil before adding them to the pot.
  • Ensure the soup is simmering gently when you add the dumplings to prevent them from breaking apart.
