  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just starting to soften.
  • Use a good quality beef broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and vegetables.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make the soup more filling.
