About Bouyon

Mirlene’s Haitian bouyon bef combines beef chuck, root vegetables and boy dumplings in an epis-seasoned broth. The source identifies meat as traditional and tomato paste as an optional colour addition; this profile keeps that distinction.

Epis, garlic, onions and cloves give the broth a strong aromatic character. Lemon juice adds brightness around the beef, spinach, carrots, potatoes and malanga.

Chunks of meat and vegetables sit alongside small log-shaped dumplings. The soup can stand alone as a substantial meal, with bread offered as an optional accompaniment.
