Here’s a deliciously warming soup that is going to fill you right up.
The fragrant broth made from all the spices adds a delicious flavour to the simple ingredients.
Lean beef is a great source of protein which works to keep you fuller for longer.
It’s also packed with vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, iron and zinc.
Feel free to throw in some extra veggies when you add the bok choy, just be sure to allow enough time for them to cook.
Think strips of carrot, bean sprouts, green beans or baby corn.
You could also try the soup with 200g of prawns instead of beef. Stir the raw prawns into the soup 2 minutes before adding the bok choy.
