Directions
-
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
-
Add the coarsely chopped shallots and garlic to the pot.
-
Sauté the shallots and garlic, stirring frequently, until they are softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Stir in the chili powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the spices.
-
Pour in the distilled white vinegar and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
Add the beef broth and water, stirring to combine all ingredients.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
-
Simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to reduce slightly.
-
If using cooked beef, add it during the last 10 minutes of simmering to heat through.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
-
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
