Add the chopped carrots and apples to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
Simmer the Soup:

Cover the pot and let the soup simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well-developed. Check occasionally and add water if needed to maintain the desired soup level.
Season the Soup:

Add salt to taste during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped scallions.
Serve hot as a comforting meal on its own or with a side of steamed rice.
Tips:
Apple Variety: Use sweet apples like Fuji or Gala for a natural sweetness, or Granny Smith for a slightly tangy flavor.
Broth Depth: For richer broth, cook the soup longer (up to 3 hours) or use a slow cooker.
Optional Spices: Add a pinch of white pepper or a star anise for additional warmth and depth.
Enjoy this hearty and wholesome soup! 😊
