This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper to taste.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted vegetable broth for the beef broth and added some extra vegetables to the soup. It turned out great!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beef. I usually make it after a roast beef dinner and it's a great way to get a second meal out of the leftovers.
