A beef soup recipe with huai shan, arrowroot, goji berries and red dates

This chinese herbal beef soup recipe is good for cheaper beef cuts without lowering the nutrition. Serve as a general tonic.

With so many chinese herbs in the soup, enough nutrients can be absorbed just by drinking the soup. If the beef is tough, discard it. The huai shan, arrowroot, goji berries and red dates can be eaten.

Allow ample time for simmering in the slow cooker.
