How to: Clear beef broth coriander soup?

[ladystarling]

Last year I lived in China, and at a random muslim street kitchen in Guangzhou I tried a fabulous beef broth soup. Since soups are not my forte and I'm clueless as to what was in it besides beef broth and coriander I simply seek a second opinion. I've searced the web for arabic and asian recipes but so far I have come up empty handed.
So as a last attempt I post in a foor forum...

Any reply is well come, Thanks!

2. Bring 1 litre of water to a boil and add the rice vermicelli. Let it soften for 15 minutes until ready to add to the soup. Drain.
3. In a large pot, bring the bouillon or stock, garlic, soya sauce, lime juice, ginger, green onions, carrot, sambal oelek or curry paste, mushrooms and the bok choy to a boil.
4. Lower heat to medium and cook until the bok choy is tender. (3 to 4 minutes)
5. Add the meat or seafood, rice vermicelli, or bean sprouts and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
6. Add the coriander on top of the soup before serving. You can adjust the ginger and curry paste before serving if you like it more spicy.
7. You can add a lemongrass stalk (bruised) for more Asian flavor during cooking time.
