I am Livya from Greece, I'm 27 years old, I love cooking and I work as graphic-web designer.
Reminds me of my childhood.
Wholesome, hearty and nutritious. I like one-dish-meals. Something I would really have to try.
I had forgotten how good beef soup can be until recently. It’s really a perfect soup for winter, and hearty enough to be a meal in itself. I ended up making mine with leftover rib roast and barley. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe.
I’m a big fan of soup, but I particularly love broth soups like this. I would be happy to tuck into this after a walk in the countryside (or any time really). I like the addition of the lemon peel and lemon juice in your recipe.
Yummy yum yum! I love beef soup, it is so hearty! Always a great winter meal!
This soup looks so good! Hearty, healthy, and delicious!
I love all the chunky veggies in there! Looks delicious!
it looks so delicious! i like that you left the veggies in chunks there; we have this habit of slice them and dice them too much
Great soup for our cold winters in Canada. Hearty and nutritious.
