Prime Rib Soup

I had some leftovers from Christmas dinner.........I also didn't have mushrooms so didn't add them!    But it was pretty yummy.   Basic, but good!  

Ingredients

• 4 beef ribs, trimmed from a cooked prime rib roast
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 potato, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch pieces
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms

 

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Directions

1. Place the ribs in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the meat is falling from the bones, about 2 hours. Remove the ribs and allow to cool. Trim the meat from the ribs and cut into bite sized pieces; refrigerate. Continue simmering the broth until reduced to 1 cup; refrigerate until the fat congeals to the top.
2. Skim and discard the congealed fat. Pour the broth into a saucepan along with the meat trimmings, beef stock, potato, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chives to serve.
