Beef
French Onion Soup
Cooking the onions for a very long time over low heat mellows their flavor. Don't stir them too often or they won't caramelize. This soup tastes best when made with homemade beef stock.

Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup With Ginger
In Vietnam, pho, as this rice-noodle soup is known, is often enjoyed for breakfast. Nutritionists recommend incorporating red meat into one's diet just as it's used here -- in small portions and as a complement to other foods. The soup also includes bean sprouts and a handful of fresh herbs. The stock needs to be refrigerated for at least six hours; make it a day ahead.
