What You Need to Make Ground Beef Soup

Ground Beef – For lower calories and fat use lean ground beef, or go for medium or regular beef and drain the fat off. Or change it up and use fresh or leftover ground turkey, chicken, or even leftover steak!

Vegetables – Cabbage is healthy and flavorful! White or red cabbage, Napa, or even kale are all cabbage varieties that work in ground beef soup! A can of tomatoes with the juices adds a bright and tangy flavor. Rotel tomatoes come complete with chiles and spices already added!

Broth – Buy or make your own broth. Be sure to look for lower sodium varieties.

Seasonings – Garlic and oregano can be enhanced with your favorite taco or chili seasoning – this recipe is so versatile, anything goes!

Variations – Add sliced mushrooms or zucchini, or your favorite low-carb frozen vegetable mix!
