KANSAS CITY STEAK SOUP Kansas City Steak Soup Recipe
This is terrific! I don’t think I’ve ever made (or ordered) steak soup because, well, steak doesn’t go into soup it’s Steak, sort of a standalone food to me. But we had some left from last night’s steak dinner and I’m a convert for sure. Absolutely delicious. I followed the step-by-step instructions (and ingredients) properly, didn’t just stir everything together at once. With some soup recipes I have you can do that, but the extra time and care I took with this one made a difference I’m pretty sure.
I use almost exactly the same ingredients — no canola, but avocado oil instead, and minus the W sauce (but might add it next time) & just whisk in the salad bowl vs. using an immersion blender.
Serious Eats hasn’t really had new content after the acquisition by DotDash in 2020 (with the goal of monetizing traffic via links to purchase ingredients from Walmart and others).
Comments related to articles were removed, which affected any recipes that were linked to articles, because the comments that were posted to the article rather than the recipe itself were lost.
Still, there are a lot of old resources there that remain useful while they last.
I like their extensive sous vide timing guide, which illustrates time/temperature combinations for different ingredients.
