When we say Succos is “early” or “late,” we’re talking about one or two weeks max in either direction, but when it comes to the temps dropping in the succah, especially at night, those weeks really make a difference. All I ever want is a hearty bowl of soup, which is then on repeat all winter long.
oil, for sautéing
2 medium onions, diced
1 and 1/2 pounds (3/4 kilogram) boneless flanken
1 beefsteak tomato, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or 4 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1 large carrot, finely diced
1–2 stalks celery, finely diced (optional)
2 yellow zucchini, finely diced
16 ounces (450 grams) Tuscanini Tomato Sauce
32 ounces (450 grams) water
2 tablespoons Glicks Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked Gefen Black Pepper
1 teaspoon onion soup mix (optional)
In a large pot, heat oil for sautéing. Add onions and flanken and sauté for 10–15 minutes on medium heat until just golden. Add tomato and garlic and simmer for 15 minutes while the juices release from the tomato. Add remaining ingredients.
Simmer on medium-low heat for four to five hours or until meat is totally tender.
Remove meat from the pot and chop into smaller pieces.
If you like a smooth soup, blend the liquid in the pot with an immersion blender. Otherwise, leave as is. Return beef to the pot.

Beefsteak tomato Hi,
This soup looks really good, I would love to try making it.
Can I use any tomato (since I do not think they sell those here)
Thanks!

Hi Chani! This is a great soup and it’s not too difficult. Be sure to have adult supervision when cutting vegetables and cooking by the fire.
