Iron-Rich Spinach & Beef Soup

Beef and spinach are a classic pairing in iron-focused cooking, and this soup gives both room to shine — the beef simmers until it's fork-tender, and the spinach goes in right at the end so it keeps some of its color and bite.

Red meat and dark leafy greens are both ingredients people managing anemia are often encouraged to include more of, and a splash of ginger and a bit of tomato round out the broth without overpowering either one. Let the beef simmer the full 25 to 30 minutes so it's properly tender before the spinach goes in.
