5. Stir everything together until well combined.

Variations & Tips
Feel free to switch up the protein – ground chicken or pork work well too. For a vegetarian version, you could use lentils or a plant-based ground meat substitute. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or celery for more variety. If you’re a fan of heat, a dash of red pepper flakes or some diced jalapeños could add a nice kick. And if you prefer a thicker soup, a small can of tomato paste can help achieve that consistency.
