Notes

For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef in batches to develop a deeper caramelization. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and feel free to add more herbs or spices based on personal preference. If you find the soup too thick after resting, simply add a bit more broth to reach your desired consistency.
