Notes

For added flavor, consider browning the ground beef with a dash of Worcestershire sauce. You can also customize the vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability. If you prefer a thicker soup, simmer it longer, or add a tablespoon of flour mixed with water to thicken. Adjust the seasoning based on your taste, and feel free to garnish with fresh parsley or grated cheese before serving.
