For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef with a diced onion and a clove of garlic. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency. Add more for a thinner soup, less for a thicker one. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. If you prefer a spicier soup, use a hot salsa con queso or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
