For a richer flavor, try browning the ground beef with a tablespoon of olive oil. Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as carrots, celery, or green beans. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the slow cooker towards the end of the cooking time. A bay leaf added during cooking can enhance the savory depth of the soup. Remember to remove it before serving. This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop!
