Vietnamese-Style Beef, Watercress and Cilantro Soup
Canh is a broad category of simple home-style Vietnamese soups. In this version, we simmer softened shallots, fresh lemon grass and ground beef mixed with fish sauce and cilantro stems to yield a clean-tasting yet surprisingly flavorful broth. Serve with steamed jasmine rice.

One of my favorites!
Quick, easy, delicious, hearty. Last time that I made it I subbed black pepper for white pepper and added shitake mushrooms. I've also used arugula in the past when not able to find watercress at my grocery store.
