I believe the answer is:

throb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pound the ingredients' is the definition.
'throb' can be an answer for 'pound' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'the ingredients' bit.

'making broth' is the wordplay.
'making' indicates an anagram.
'broth' anagrammed gives 'THROB'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for throb that I've seen before include "Sound of engines" , "Beat rhythmically" , "beat repeatedly" , "Palpitate, quiver (with emotion)" , "Beat like heart" .)
