Tips
- Choose Quality Meat: Opt for lean ground beef to keep the dish low in fat while still providing rich flavor. You can also substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Sauté for Flavor: Don’t skip the step of browning the beef and sautéing the onions. This step adds depth and enhances the overall taste of the soup.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the mix for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning as necessary. A little extra Italian seasoning can elevate the flavors even more.
- Garnish for Presentation: Serve the soup with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese to add a touch of elegance and an extra layer of flavor.
- Make Ahead: This soup keeps well in the fridge for a few days, making it a great option for meal prep. Just reheat and enjoy!
- Freezing Tips: If you want to make a big batch, this soup freezes beautifully. Just store it in airtight containers, and you’ll have a quick meal ready for those busy days!
