Notes
- Don’t Rush the Browning: Taking the time to brown the beef adds a depth of flavor to the soup.
- Cut Uniform Sizes: Keeping your vegetable pieces uniform ensures they cook evenly.
- Adjust Liquid Levels: If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of broth or add more potatoes.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add your favorite herbs like thyme or oregano for extra flavor.
- Use Leftover Meat: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover roast beef or meat from another meal.
