Notes

For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef thoroughly before adding other ingredients. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste, and if you prefer a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to three days, making it perfect for meal prep.
