How to Make Beef Curry Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Coat 1.5 lbs of beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes) and 1 large onion (chopped) in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Brown the beef and onions on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
  2. Add 6 cups of beef broth, 2 tablespoons of South African curry powder (or to taste), and 2 bay leaves to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
  4. Add 2 lbs of potatoes (peeled and cubed), 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste).
  5. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 60 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through. Stir occasionally.
  6. Remove bay leaves before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot over steamed rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
