For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground sirloin in a tablespoon of olive oil. You can also add a clove or two of minced garlic along with the onion and bell pepper for extra aroma. Feel free to use other types of ground meat, such as ground turkey or ground beef, based on your preference. For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and add a can of drained and rinsed cannellini beans or chickpeas. Adjust the amount of chicken broth to achieve your desired soup consistency. If you prefer a thicker soup, use less broth or add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) towards the end of the cooking time. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup while simmering. Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
