Grandma Murphy's Beef Soup

Recipe courtesy of jennypenny*

Beef Bones (if you can find them)
Stew Meat
Vinegar
bay leaf
pepper corns
Sauerkraut (can or jar)

You get beef soup bones. (In the past they had a lot of meat on
them...now they are just bones - so I buy some stew meat as well.)

Put it in a large pot and cover the bones/meat with water. Add salt and bring to boil. Clear fat from top as it surfaces. Brown foam will form on the surface, clear that with a spoon.)

After meat is tender add beets and vinegar and 2 Tablespoons of vinegar (add to taste)

Mix 8 oz of sour cream and stir in 2 tbsp of flour, removing all lumps. Add water to make it smooth and watery.

After meat is tender, add the slowly the sour cream mixture, stirring until broth and cream are well blended.

Bring to boil and your soup is done.
