Serves 6

Ingredients

Water
8 cups
Salt
to taste
Onion
1, chopped
Celery
2 stalks, chopped
Carrots
2, sliced
Potatoes
2, diced
Pasta shells (galets)
1 cup
Pork ribs
1 pound
Chicken
1 whole (about 3-4 pounds)
Beef bone
1 large

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine the beef bone, whole chicken, pork ribs, and water. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 2 hours. This will create a rich broth.
  3. After 2 hours, add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and chopped onion to the pot. Season generously with salt to taste.
  4. Continue to simmer the soup for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
  5. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta shells (galets) according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  6. Once the soup is ready, stir in the cooked pasta shells, allowing them to absorb the flavors for an additional 5 minutes on low heat.
  7. Serve the soup hot in bowls, ensuring each serving includes a hearty mix of meat, vegetables, and pasta for a fulfilling meal.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs like bay leaves or thyme while simmering the broth.
  • 💡 You can use leftover meats or even add sausages for a different twist.
  • 💡 Feel free to adjust the vegetables based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
