leg soup
A Yemenite beef-leg and potato soup flavoured with hawaij, cumin and sweet paprika.
About leg soup
This Yemenite leg soup combines beef leg and potatoes in a substantial, spice-scented broth. Tavlinei Bracha’s version has the rich body of a slow-cooked leg soup and a simple garlic-based seasoning.
Hawaij for soup, cumin and sweet paprika give the broth its warm aromatic character. Garlic adds savoury depth, while flour thickening contributes to the fuller consistency around the meat and potatoes.
Pieces of beef leg and soft potato make this a substantial bowl. The broth carries the seasoning throughout the dish, with its richness balanced by the straightforward spice mixture.
