Beef soup
Description
The soup is easy and quick to prepare. It's a delicious, hearty, and rich soup with a pronounced spicy flavor. The main ingredients are beef, rice, and a generous amount of garlic. I highly recommend trying this recipe as an alternative to the usual noodle or potato soups, where we often use more accessible chicken. Serve the soup hot, accompanied by sour cream.
