Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or oregano to the soup. If you want a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with lentils or a meat alternative. You can also use fresh vegetables if you prefer over canned; just adjust cooking times accordingly. For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of water or add a cornstarch slurry.
