Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or basil to the soup. If you're short on time, you can use frozen chopped vegetables instead of fresh. For a vegetarian version, substitute the hamburger with lentils or beans. You can also use vegetable broth instead of water for added depth. If you want a creamier texture, stir in some cream or milk at the end of cooking.
