Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken
• 1 pound beef stew meat
• 1 pound pork shoulder
• 10 cups chicken stock
• 2 large onion
• 4 celery stalks
• 4 large carrots
• 6 medium potatoes
• 2 cups green beans
• 3 cups cabbage
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 dried bay leaves
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups water

Directions

Step 1

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken, beef stew meat, pork shoulder, chicken stock, and water.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours, skimming off any foam or impurities as they rise to the surface.

Step 3

While the meat cooks, chop the onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Set the vegetables aside.

Step 4

After 2 hours of simmering, remove the chicken, beef, and pork from the pot. Allow the meat to cool slightly, then shred or dice it into small pieces. Return the meat to the pot.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions, celery, carrots, and potatoes to the pot, along with the green beans, cabbage, and corn kernels.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Continue to simmer the soup over low heat for an additional 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.

Step 8

Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Booyah hot with crusty bread or rolls on the side. Enjoy!
