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. Generally, whenever I come across things, foods that take me back to my childhood it is so special. I realize that olfactory sense is often the one that does that very well. This soup is one of those that brings so many memories back making me feel like I teleport myself back in time."
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!
