This Prime Rib Soup is full of leftover tender chunks of meat floating in a hearty bone broth. It is meat and potatoes in a soup and the perfect way to use those precious leftovers.  A Prime Rib being such an expensive cut of meat is reserved for special occasions at our house . As delicious as this meal is the meat just isn’t the same heated up,  so instead of wasting it I will make another meal out of it. Never , I repeat NEVER throw away those precious bones. Boil those babies up and make the most delicious broth you have ever had. Even if there is no meat left , save those bones.  This Soup is so easy it will soon be a favorite at your house.

I have very picky eaters at my house and one of my sons will not eat leftovers unless it is made into to something else. I would never let leftover rib roast go to waste, it is really a favorite meal we all can agree on .  Over the years I have gotten pretty creative when it comes to leftovers like making Omelets or Quesadillas, both my family loves.  Like I have mentioned before never let those bones go to waste!! If you know you won’t have time to boil them , put them in a ziplock bag and freeze them. At any given time I have frozen bones in my freezer waiting to be used .

Notes

If you don't like the flavor of red wine you can just add more broth. Also if you prefer you can use white wine. 

I have made this soup many times, it is easier of the bones are cut separate. Sometimes when boiling the ribs I will add a few sprigs of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor

I have also added carrots and that is a great option
