Beat and serve out broth (5)
I believe the answer is:
throb
'beat' is the definition.
(throb is a kind of beat)
'serve out broth' is the wordplay.
'broth' anagrams to 'THROB'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for throb that I've seen before include "Drum" , "Pulsate strongly" , "Strong rhythmic beat" , "Beat strongly" , "Palpitate, quiver (with emotion)" .)
