Betty's Keeneland Kentucky Burgoo Soup Recipe Video
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Keeneland Kentucky Burgoo Soup. Burgoo traditionally has about 5 or 6 meats and a dozen vegetables, so this is a very toned-down version of burgoo from Chef Ed (of Turf Catering) that I think you will enjoy. This is the soup that Rick ordered when we took our recent trip to the Keeneland Horse Race Track and had lunch in the Equestrian Room. Rick loved it! This version of burgoo does not have nearly as many ingredients as traditional Kentucky burgoo, but it tastes wonderful, and is much easier to make!
Note: I tried to make just half of the recipe below. (In some cases I used more than half, plus I added canned whole kernel corn and 2 teaspoons salt, and I used full strength on the herbs. Burgoo is quite flexible and variable, so feel free to play around with the recipe; burgoo is something you can't go wrong by adding something you like or omitting ingredients you dont like! You will need a large pot or large crock pot for this recipe!)
Ingredients:
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced carrot
1 cup diced onion
3 pounds stew meat (I used cubed round steak, in order to have less fatty beef.)
12 oz. can tomato puree
2 pounds fresh okra, sliced (I used a 12-oz. package frozen sliced okra.)
1 tablespoon beef base (I used 1 beef bouillon cube.)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup sherry wine
3 pounds diced potatoes
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon dry sage
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry oregano
water (as needed)
cornstarch (if desired)
I added:
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup canned whole kernel corn
•Brown stew meat with herbs and garlic (Garlic was not listed in the ingredients, but you can use a couple of cloves of garlic, minced [or to taste].)
•Add remaining ingredients and cover with water. (I used a little over 2 cups of water to cover the mix completely.) Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer for a minimum of three hours, stirring occasionally. (Using a crock pot on LOW will take 8 to 10 hours.)
•Before serving, combine water and cornstarch and add it slowly, stirring until the burgoo reaches the desired thickness. (I did not add any cornstarch, because the consistency of my burgoo was acceptable to me.)
From Chef Ed: Burgoo is a great recipe for the crock pot & is excellent served as leftovers as well!!
I hope you enjoy this hearty soup, and "Thanks" to Chef Ed for another great recipe!—Betty

notnormalbuzz: you look sooo pretty today! ive never heard of this before but i really wanna try it :)
bettyskitchen: Hi Lucy! I'm sorry I've been so long in getting back to you! My channel has become very busy! If you can find two green spices that you like to replace thyme and sage, that will be fine. It could be parsley, oregano basil, rosemary, marjoram, tarragon--just two of them. For the sherry, just make that 1 cup water--you need the liquid, but not the alcohol. I think you will enjoy making this burgoo soup! Have a lovely day! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: Thanks for your lovely comment! I hope you enjoy my recipes! Thanks for writing! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: Hi Deb! You are quite welcome! I am delighted that you enjoy the videos that Rick and I upload! Thanks for your sweet comment! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: Around here, we put shrimp in it, but we also put other seafood and meats and vegetables. i'm sure everyone makes it differently! Thanks for commenting! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: I don't think it's so much like gumbo--but gumbo does have tomatoes and okra! It's mainly that the seasonings are different. For gumbo, they should be cajun or creole. --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: In our part of the U.S. we put any kind or seafood or meat in it, with appropriate vegetables, and just season it Louisiana-style! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: This is great for a slow cooker--and we had so much leftover, which was even better the next day! Thanks for commenting! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: That's great! I hope you enjoy the recipe! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: I'm glad you are liking the slow cooker recipes. Of course, you can do this with a large pot on the stove! Thanks for your lovely comment! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: Thanks very much! I appreciate your comment! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: Yes, I'm trying to cover chilly weather, sports events, holidays, etc., so you'll be seeing a little bit of everything! Thanks for your sweet comment! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: I didn't claim that this was the *best*! In fact, it's not traditional burgoo, at all! It's just the recipe that was used for the burgoo that we were served on our trip to Keeneland Horse Race Track. However, burgoo is considered to be a Kentucky dish by Wikipedia, etc. To me, it's just a great soup! Thanks for your comment! --Betty :)
bettyskitchen: Expect to get a *lot* of soup! But that's good, because it's even better the next day! Thanks for your nice comment! --Betty :)
