Step 1
Prepare the listed ingredients. Rinse the beef in water and remove tendons and films from the meat. You can use bone-in beef, but avoid pieces with excessive fat—the soup will turn out more flavorful and aromatic.

Step 2
Cut the meat into portion pieces; if using beef ribs, cut them so that each piece has one rib. Place in a pot or cauldron.

Step 3
Pour in hot water and place the container on the stove. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2–3 minutes, skimming off the foam. If desired, you can simply pour off the cloudy liquid, rinse the container, then return the beef to it and cover again with boiling water. Next, simmer the meat over medium heat for 30–40 minutes. This should be done separately from the other ingredients to ensure the beef becomes tender and juicy.

Step 4
After the specified time, peel the potatoes, carrots, and onion, and rinse the vegetables under water. Cut the carrots and potatoes into medium cubes, and finely chop the onion. Instead of red onion, you can use white, yellow, or green onion.

Step 6
Add the seasoning or spices to taste, then add the beans in tomato sauce. Stir in chopped dill or parsley, if you like herbs in your soups. Since tomato juice slows down cooking and canned beans are already cooked, they should be added at the very end. Simmer the soup for 1-2 minutes and taste to adjust seasoning.
