  • Browning the beef adds extra flavor but can be skipped if needed.
  • Frozen vegetables may be used without thawing.
  • Add peas during the last 30 minutes for best texture.
  • For a thicker soup, stir in a cornstarch slurry during the final 30 minutes.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
