Pulse broth to be stirred (5)

I believe the answer is:

throb

'pulse' is the definition.
(I know that pulse can be written as throb)

'broth to be stirred' is the wordplay.
'to be stirred' indicates anagramming the letters.
'broth' with letters rearranged gives 'THROB'.

(Other definitions for throb that I've seen before include "Beat like heart" , "Beat quickly from excitement etc" , "Martin -; Kingsley -" , "Drum" , "Have strong or irregular heartbeat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
