This is one of those soups that you make on a cozy Saturday and can’t wait to get home from church on Sunday to eat the leftovers. It would be great for a crowd and it is so SO yummy!
A few thoughts:
- You could totally substitute ground turkey or bison instead of beef if you wanted. If you’re using beef, grass-fed is ideal.
- The addition of cauliflower rice increases the fiber + nutrients AND saves $$ because it gives it a ‘meaty’ heartiness without having to use more meat
- You could enhance nutrients and save some $$ by using dry black beans. You would just need to soak them the night before and boil them a bit (more on this later).
