For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of ground beef and ground Italian sausage. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. Some people prefer a slightly sweeter soup. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, celery, or corn for added nutrients and flavor. If you don’t have beef base, you can substitute with beef broth or bouillon cubes.
