Aromatic Vietnamese Beef Broth

A combination of lean beef, vegetables, and spices gives this delicious mixture a nice boost of fiber, protein, and healthy fat. Chopped meat contributes with a good amount of protein which will keep you full for hours, while vegetables add a perfect amount of vitamins and minerals promoting health and well-being.

Having that said, I think it’s time to give this combination a try!
