Tips & Substitutions
When making Surprise Beef And Duck Soup, ensure to use a high-quality roast beef for better flavor. If duck beaks are hard to find, consider using chicken necks or wings as a substitute. For a creamier texture, you can replace some of the water with milk. Stirring consistently helps to meld the flavors together, so don't skip that step.
