Teleshko Vareno - Bulgarian Beef Soup

  Teleshko Vareno - Bulgarian Beef Soup

Everyone knows that soup is always the best thing to eat during the winter time but to the Bulgarians, beef soup is the most popular soup during the winter time. Beef soup in Bulgaria is usually called Teleshko Vareno (boiled beef) and is even one of the easiest soups to make but a bit of a while to cook. This soup not only contains beef but also a bunch or large pieces of vegetables. Though there are a variety of soups or stews to choose from, I chose Teleshko Vareno.

Bulgarian beef soup is one of the most popular European foods to eat or make. So if you ever want to make Teleshko Vareno you’ll need: beef shank or any meat on the bone with marrow and vegetables that must stay rather giant and ungainly in size. Once everything is ready to be cooked, you put it all in a pot and let it cook for about 2 hrs 40 mins while adding the vegetables little by little. After it’s cooked, you can serve the soup and eat the savoring beef soup and not only will it taste good but it will also leave an aroma of the soup so you can eat in a warm and cozy environment. All I know is that one day I’m going to cook this Bulgarian Beef Soup and taste this delightfulness. If you ever want to make this soup, the ingredients are down below:

2 pounds beef shank meat, rinse and patted dry

1 pound carrots, in the raw and turn over 3-in items
