Cooking My Own Version of Beef Ribs Soup

inbound1340409274815903701.jpg

Good day Hive! How are you today? I hope all of you are doing well. It is raining in our place this morning. So, I decided to cook Beef Ribs Soup with a lot of vegetables for breakfast. In our province, we called the soup as Nilat-an nga Baka.

The recipe is perfect for the cold weather during rainy day here in my country, the Philippines or during winter period in another country.

It is not easy to find beef meat in my hometown’s wet market. Most of the meat available every day is pork and chicken.

For me to get fresh beef meat, I need to order ahead of time. I went to town yesterday in the afternoon, which is Saturday, just to order beef ribs and boneless beef meat. There is only one vendor who sells beef in our hometown, and they only sell it every Sunday morning of the week.

Every Sunday morning, the beef meat are always sold out because the meat is fresh, and they only sell beef once a week.

Around 6 o’clock in the morning, I went to town to get the beef meat that I ordered, and I also bought ingredients such as vegetables and spices for making the soup. I am just quick on the market because I still need to cook breakfast.

When I arrived home, I cleaned everything that I bought, packed, and put some beef meat on the refrigerator to cook for the upcoming days. Then, I started preparing the ingredients for the soup.

I was not able to buy all the ingredients for the Beef Ribs Soup because it is not available like sweet corn.

The Ingredients for Beef Ribs Soup that I cooked are:

The Beef Ribs Soup is now cooked and ready to serve for breakfast. It is normal in my country, Philippines to have soup in the morning for breakfast, noontime for lunch, and in the evening for dinner especially when the weather is cold or when it is raining.

I also shared the soup that I cooked to my siblings. 2 kilo is not that much for everybody to eat, but I just shared a bowl of Beef Ribs Soup to them. My mother does not eat beef, so, I just prepared fish for her to eat.
