For a richer flavor, brown the ground beef in a separate pan before adding it to the soup. Add a bay leaf or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the depth of flavor. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency. This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors meld together. Garnish with fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
