Could I add meat to this soup?
Yes, you could, however, you must also understand that the soup will not qualify as a ‘zero’ point meal if you add meat or other ingredients.
Can I use vegetable stock instead of Beef broth?
Certainly! For those that avoid eating meat or meat products, it is a perfect plan to use vegetable stock as the broth. It is kept as a vegetarian soup.
