Apache Acorn Soup

Cover beef with water and bring to boil in a heavy pot. Simmer until done; add salt and pepper as meat cooks tender. Remove beef and chop on a flat stone until split in shreds.

The meat broth continues to cook vigorously while meat and acorn flour (meal) are mixed together.

Apaches stress their food is always well done; no instant cooking.

Broth, meat and meal simmer together until the broth bubbles creamy white with yellow flecks, pleasantly acorn scented and flavored.
