Potato stew with sweet/sour pickles

First, prepare a broth from the beef shank slices and root vegetables, along with the spices (bay leaf, peppercorns, salt, allspice). Then dice the onion and sauté, add the diced bacon and fry lightly. Add the diced potatoes and sliced ​​carrots (a little caraway if you like) and let it simmer briefly. Then pour in the hot beef broth and simmer gently for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a roux and add it. Add the diced gherkins, a little gherkin broth, and a pinch of sugar, and simmer gently for another 5 minutes (the potatoes and carrots shouldn’t be overcooked). Remove from the heat and add salt and pepper if desired. The soup tastes best reheated the next day.
