Instructions

1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat to prepare for browning the beef and cooking the soup evenly.
2. Brown the Beef and Sauté Aromatics: Add ground beef to the heated pan and cook thoroughly until browned. Stir in diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Use a Dutch oven or large pot that has enough capacity for simmering the soup, ensuring even cooking of the ingredients.

• Use leaner ground beef for a lower fat option.
• Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the Worcestershire sauce, which adds depth and umami.
• This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freezes well for up to 3 months.
