Nutritional values

It supplies our body with oxygen-transporting iron and covers the daily requirement of defensive zinc as well as vitamin B12 and niacin to 100 and more percent. All in all, it is an invigorating fitness-enhancing soup which, thanks to its high protein content, also keeps you full for a long time.

Not quite in style, but healthy: with a handful of finely nested vegetables (e.g. carrots, peppers, leeks) you bring extra vitamins into the soup pot. When the stock has come to the boil again (step 13), let it cook briefly in the soup pot until it is firm to the bite.
