Prime Rib Soup
This rich and satisfying prime rib soup is the best I've ever created. Hubby is always excited when I make a prime rib because he knows this soup made with leftovers will follow within a day or two. The ribs are sliced from the prime rib before serving and saved just for this recipe. I always buy a bone-in prime rib because it makes the roast better-tasting, and the ribs are a bonus not to be missed!
