Notes

Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen in portions for longer storage. For a vegetarian version, swap the beef for lentils or black beans and use vegetable broth instead. Try adding things like avocado slices or crispy tortilla strips for extra crunch.
