Lamb soup

Cookinero 12 Jul 2025

The high protein content and relatively low calorie content make lamb so healthy. If our body needs 4 to 5 hours to digest pork or beef, then it only takes 3 hours to digest lamb. Lamb soup is an easily digestible, dietary, tasty and very healthy dish. The broth is aromatic and rich, and the boiled lamb is very tender and soft.
