Notes
- As the rice cooks, it’ll absorb some of the liquid. Add a splash more broth if your soup gets too thick.
- Use a wide, heavy-bottomed soup pot to help the beef brown evenly and prevent scorching.
- For a thicker, stew-like texture, mash a few cooked potatoes right in the soup pot before serving.
- To keep your vegetables from getting mushy if the soup will be simmering for a long time, cut them into slightly larger chunks.
- Ladle out leftovers into single-serving containers for easy grab-and-go lunches throughout the week.
- This soup freezes beautifully — let it cool, then pack in airtight containers and store for up to 3 months.
