Notes

Customize the soup by adding other ingredients like diced jalapeños, cooked rice, or different types of beans.
For a healthier version, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
Make it spicy by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
This soup freezes well, so make a big batch and store individual portions for quick meals later.
To make it vegetarian, substitute the beef broth with vegetable broth and omit the ground beef.
