LEAN GROUND BEEF:

ONION:
- Onion gives natural sweetness and depth of flavor to the soup. You may use white onion, yellow onion, red onion, or shallots as an alternative.
GARLIC:
- Garlic gives a savory aroma and strengthens the flavor of the broth. You may use ½ teaspoon garlic powder or roasted garlic as another choice.
TOMATOES:
- They add freshness, acidity, and color to the soup. You may use fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, or fresh chopped tomatoes as a substitute.
WATER:
- Water helps to create a lighter and broth-based consistency for the soup. You may use additional broth for a richer flavor as an alternative.
SALT:
- Salt boosts and balances all the flavors in the soup. You may use seasoned salt or a salt-free seasoning blend as an alternative.
BLACK PEPPER:
- Black pepper gives mild warmth and boosts the spice profile without overpowering the soup. You may use white pepper or a pepper blend as per your taste.
