Nothing hits the spot on a cold day like a cozy bowl of brothy beef soup! 🥣 This one is packed with bold flavors from lemongrass, cilantro, and @bwqualitygrowers watercress, making it light yet comforting. Perfect for warming you up without weighing you down.

Here’s what you’ll need:
2 stalks lemongrass
2 cups cilantro, stems and leaves reserved separately
1 pound 93% lean ground beef
4 tablespoons fish sauce, divided
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 shallots, diced
2 cups watercress

Instructions:
- Release the lemongrass by smacking it with a meat tenderizer or the back of a large knife. Cut into 2-inch long pieces.
- Separate the cilantro leaves from the stems, then rough chop the cilantro leaves and set aside.

For the beef mixture:
- Mince the cilantro stems and mix with the ground beef, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.

Bring it all together:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and lemongrass, cooking until shallots are translucent (about 3 minutes). Add the beef mixture, stirring to break it into small pieces.
- Stir in 4 cups of water (6 of you have room), 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining fish sauce.

To serve:
Just before serving, stir in the watercress and rough chopped cilantro leaves. Serve hot and enjoy!
