Notes

  • For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of heavy cream or mascarpone cheese.
  • To thicken the soup, simmer longer or add a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water).
  • Make it spicy by adding red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
  • For a vegetarian version, swap the beef for mushrooms or lentils.
