minutes18
hoursIngredients
350 g beef shin
2 chicken thighs or legs, skin removed
300 g jamón piece or jamón bone
1 carrot
½ prei
1 onion
1 garlic clove
1 celery stalk
4-5 peppercorns
2 small potatoes, pealed
2-3 saffron strands
Water
- Extra ingredients to make soup:
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1-2 fresh peppermint leaves
Directions
- Cut the onion into 2 equal pieces and roast in a small pan over high heat. No oil needed. Cook about 2 minutes or until golden.
- Place all the meat in the slow cooker, beef shin, chicken thighs and jamón.
- Add the vegetables: carrot, prei, roasted onion, garlic, celery, peppercorns, potatoes and saffron.
- Fill the slow cooker with water.
- Cook on low for 12-18 hours.
- Strain the broth through a strainer and cool.
- When the broth is cold keep in the fridge for 1-2 hours so a layer of fat can form on the top. It is easier to remove the fat that way.
- Remove the fat with a spoon and discard.
- Vegetables: I like to chop the potatoes, onion and carrot into small pieces to add it to the soup.
- Meat: Use all the meat to make some delicious croquetas.
- To make soup:
- Place the broth into a large pot and bring to a boil.
- Place the garlic and parsley in the mortar and smash them with the pestle until you get some kind of paste. Add it to the soup.
- Add ¼ cup of fideos per person to the boiling soup.
- Add the chopped vegetables and the peppermint leaves.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until the fideos are cooked.
- Remove the peppermint leaves from the soup.
- Serve in bowls and enjoy a warm soup.
