For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef in a mixture of butter and olive oil. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after it has finished cooking. Be careful not to over-blend, as you still want some texture. Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as diced carrots or bell peppers, for added flavor and nutrition. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
