Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the onion and celery in a bit of olive oil before adding them to the pot. You can substitute the beef bouillon cubes with vegetable bouillon for a vegan version. If using fresh tomatoes, peel them for a smoother texture, or opt for canned tomatoes for convenience. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or green beans for variety.
