Notes
- This soup thickens as it sits. It may look slightly brothy at first but will thicken naturally as it rests. Add warm broth when reheating if needed.
- Cooking rice directly in the soup creates a creamier texture. The starch released from the rice helps give the broth body and richness.
- Use 85/15 ground beef for best flavor. Leaner beef works, but slightly higher fat adds more depth and richness.
- If the soup is too thin, simmer uncovered for 5–10 minutes. This allows excess liquid to reduce and concentrate the flavor.
