hearty broth

Rich, filling stock

A hearty broth is a rich, filling soup with substantial ingredients—chunks of meat, vegetables, grains, or beans—as opposed to a thin, clear broth.

The phrase suggests something warming and satisfying, the kind of meal that sustains: We warmed up with a hearty broth after the hike.

Hearty here means robust and nourishing.
