How to Make Bibianne's French Canadian Cabbage Soup

  1. In a large soup pot, combine 1 kg beef bone and 1 large onion, roughly chopped, with 2 liters of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup pearl barley to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the barley is tender but still slightly firm.
  3. Carefully remove the beef bone from the pot. Let it cool slightly, then remove the cooked meat. Discard the bone.
  4. Chop the cooked beef into small, bite-sized pieces (approximately 1 cup). Return the chopped beef to the soup pot.
  5. Add 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped, and 1 medium head of cabbage (about 1 kg), shredded, to the soup.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for another 30-40 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the cabbage is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
