  7. Pour in water or bone broth and add spinach. Let spinach wilt, stirring gently, about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Notes

To make this recipe paleo or Whole30, ensure bone broth is used and skip legumes.
For a vegetarian version, substitute grass-fed beef with crumbled tempeh or lentils, and use vegetable broth.
Add sliced avocado or a sunny-side egg for extra healthy fats and protein.
Try serving with fermented sauerkraut for gut health.
For a Mediterranean spin, add a dollop of hummus or crumbled feta.
