For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef in a mixture of butter and olive oil. Adding a bay leaf during simmering can enhance the depth of flavor. Remember to remove it before serving. This soup tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently. Feel free to customize the vegetables according to your preference. Diced potatoes, green beans, or zucchini would also be delicious additions.
