For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef in a tablespoon of olive oil. Add a bay leaf during simmering for extra depth of flavor. Remember to remove it before serving. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the vegetables with the back of a spoon before serving. This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Customize the vegetables to your liking. Carrots, celery, potatoes, or green beans would all be delicious additions.
