Unhesitatingly the monk provides soup (5)
I believe the answer is:
broth
'soup' is the definition.
(I know that broth is a type of soup)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for broth that I've seen before include "Bouillon" , "Thick soup" , "Setting for culture" , "that's good for an Irish boy" , "Soup made from water in which meat or fish has been boiled" .)
