Notes
For an added depth of flavor, try browning the ground beef in batches to ensure it develops a nice crust. You can also substitute ground turkey for a lighter version. If you prefer a thicker soup, consider reducing the amount of beef broth or letting it simmer a little longer. Adjust the pasta type and amount according to your preference, and feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
