Nutritional values

Fresh from the oven, impressive quantities of vitamins are put on the table: nerve-strengthening niacin, blood-forming B12 and the "eye vitamin" A. And stress certainly doesn't stand a chance at this wonderful guest or festive meal: meat, potatoes and vegetables are cooked together in the spicy brew.

Delicious with: fresh farmhouse bread to top off the delicious soup and a mixed leaf salad with lemon-garlic-olive oil dressing and fresh herbs.
