Soured Beef Broth
Soured Beef Broth
"Broth is something that I grew up with, and various types of meat can be used. This broth is such a comforter, a real soul warmer and a true hugger. This is yet another one of these must share beautiful soups because I just want to get you as addicted to it as I am. Just get that fresh home made bread out and some fresh green/red chillies and juuuust enjoy it! Delicious !! In terms of the vegetables there is no right or wrong as you may mix and add whatever you have in your fridge or whatever preferences you may have. Let’s get cooking, shall we? Bon appétit!"
NotesThe vegetables are again something you can pick and choose according to your liking and what you have in the fridge or, simply what you fancy on the day?
Other vegetable options that could be used are: leeks, swede, yellow, green or orange pepper, green beans, peas.
Try to always choose seasonal ones as they are the best. Enjoy it guys!
