Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the onion and bell pepper before adding them to the pot. You can also swap the beefy onion soup mix for a vegetable version to make it vegetarian, or use chicken broth instead of beef bouillon for a lighter taste. If you prefer a spicier soup, add some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
