For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after simmering. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), or a sprinkle of crispy bacon bits. For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef and add 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed kidney beans or chickpeas along with the potatoes. Spice lovers can substitute the hot pepper sauce with a finely chopped jalapeño pepper, added while browning the ground beef. Soup can be stored in airtight container for up to 3 days.
