For a vegetarian version, omit the ground beef and use vegetable broth instead of water. Add a bay leaf during the simmering process for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil before serving. Consider adding other vegetables like carrots, celery, or zucchini for added nutrients and texture.
