Beef Porridge
A Geller Classic, passed down from Grandma Martha, this is a perfect winter soup. It was by special request that I learned how to make it. Hubby used to ask his grandma, "Could you make both chicken and porridge for Shabbos, so I can have a ladle of each in my bowl?" Now he tries the same shtick with me. I haven't been daring enough to try the combination of the two−yet. After cooking for 3 hours, the flanken gets so soft it just melts in your mouth. This hearty soup could be a meal with a nice, thick slice of challah.

hi! can I substitute the flanken with a different meat? (the flanken sold in the stores has very little meat on it!)
also would this recipe freeze well?
This recipe freezes excellently! Make a huge batch and freeze it in individual containers. Cubed stew beef is the perfect substitute here for flanken – it softens as it cooks and at a better price per pound it’s more economical and you will have more meat to go around. Enjoy!
