ingredients for a delicious and healthy green bean and beef soup
- Beef. The best cut for this soup is chuck roast, chuck shoulder, or sirloin steak. The beef has to be very tender.
- Carrots. Fresh carrots are the only carrots I use, as I don’t like the consistency of frozen carrots. But if you don’t have a problem, you can use frozen ones.
- Onions. Whatever you have in hand. I like to use big yellow onions for my soups.
- Garlic cloves
- Bell pepper
- Zucchini
- Green beans. You can use fresh or frozen green beans.
- Spring onions. They will add a lot of freshness to the dish.
- Mint. Please use fresh mint, as it makes a big difference.
- Cilantro.
- Parsley.
- White noodles. Delicious rice noodles like udon or glass noodles, you choose your favorite.
