This recipe is very nutrious and not difficult to cook. Vegetable & beef are common and I can cook at the weekend for my family. Thanks.

You're very welcome Linda. If you're interested I have more original
recipes.

This is a funny story because my wife can make a pot luck soup to die for,
but only when the spirit moves her and I got tired of nagging her to make
some, so I tried for a long time before I finally got it right.

Good recipe and good advice too
