Mmmm soup

Something a bit different. I made some beef shin (criminally underrated cut) and vegetable soup. Cheap, tasty and healthy. Easy too, very important.

Just put the shin in a pot, bone included (very important for flavour).

Add some leek, carrots, celery, potatoes and parsley along with some barley soup mix (basically pearl barley, lentils and split peas).

Top up with water and season with salt and black pepper then cook over a medium heat for 2 hours. Towards the end remove the meat, discard the bone because it has done its job. Pull the meat apart with 2 forks and add back to the soup.
