About Soup with meat and vegetables

Soup with meat and vegetables is a hearty dish found in various cuisines worldwide, including European stews, Asian broths, and Latin American soups. Its nutritional profile varies based on ingredients, but it typically combines protein from meat (beef, chicken, pork, or lamb) with fiber, vitamins, and minerals from vegetables like carrots, onions, celery, and potatoes. This dish is often rich in iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.

Often simmered for hours, the broth contains nutrients extracted from both the meat and vegetables, enhancing its nutritional density and flavor.
