Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb fresh spinach, stalks removed
6 ounces lean steak fillets, cut into thin slices about 2in long
2 shallots, finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fish sauce
fresh ground black pepper
5 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 small red chili pepper, deseeded and chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the spinach leaves for a few seconds until they are just wilted. Drain well and refresh in cold water to prevent further cooking. Drain again, squeezing out excess water.
  • Combine the steak strips with the shallots, garlic, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and a grinding of black pepper, and then set aside.
  • Just before you are ready to eat, bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a large saucepan and stir in the remaining fish sauce, together with the lemon juice, sugar and chili.
  • Stir in the blanched spinach and the beef, with its marinade.
  • Bring the soup back to simmering point; add another good grinding of black pepper and serve at once.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I will definitely be making this soup again, but I will add more spices next time.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. I will definitely be making this soup again, but I will use less chili next time.
