This was very tasty indeed! Lovely and quick. I used more beef (needed using up!), beef bouillion cube instead of granules, omitted both the optionals (as I didn't have either of them!), and added red chili flakes - I think the hotness really enhanced the sweet/salty flavours of the soup. Thank you Dancer^, this was great!
