Belizean Cow Foot Soup Recipe

Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling cow's feet and making soup
  • Cutting board and knife for chopping vegetables
  • Can opener for opening the can of diced tomatoes
  • Wooden spoon for stirring the soup

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds of cow's feet cleaned and chopped
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks of celery diced
  • 2 potatoes peeled and diced

  • 1 teaspoon of thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin

  • Reduce heat and let simmer for 1 hour, or until the cow's feet are tender.
  • Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot and enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, thyme, and cumin to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more water, if needed.
  • Let the soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

You can prep the vegetables ahead of time to make the cooking process easier.
Skim any foam that rises to the top of the soup while cooking to ensure a clear broth.
Make a larger batch of the soup and freeze in portions for quick and easy meals later on.
