Made this for my husband and he loves it!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!
Love this traditional broth more than the beef bouillon.
Holy moly this takes way too long to cook and it's a shame! I love the recipe so much but the time is just too long.
Would recommend for sure to any of those who love a good ole beef broth!
Super tasty dish going to be making this a lot more often for family dinners
Didn't expect to make this anytime soon because I know how long a broth can take to make, but this was worth the time, very good recipe, thanks for sharing.
I followed the instructions but found that it needed a bit more salt, other than that it was absolutely delicious, can't wait to share this with the fam next week.
This is amazing! Really glad I found this Cawl broth recipe, never thought I'd enjoy it as much as I did.
All I can say is YUM! Such a good traditional broth, I made this with my mom and she was shocked that it turned out so good.
Well done! Verified!
