Notes

Ingredient Tips - To bump up the protein in this recipe, add 8-16 ounces additional ground meat and use bone broth instead of chicken stock or water.

Prep Tips - This soup is quite thick, feel free to add more water or broth to "stretch" the meal further.

Alternate Method - Crock-pot Variation: Place all ingredients including the browned meat in a slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 hours.

Storage Tips - This soup can be frozen in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for up to 3 months.
