Tips:
- Choose the right beans. It's best to use dried beans, not canned. Dried beans are cheaper, have more flavor, and are better for you.
- Soak the beans overnight. This will help them cook faster and more evenly.
- Add flavor to the water. When you soak the beans, add a bay leaf, a clove of garlic, and a pinch of salt to the water. This will help infuse the beans with flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you add, the more flavorful the soup will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, peppers, and tomatoes.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the soup. This will help develop its flavor.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a creamy finish.
