Notes

  • For a richer flavor, brown the onion and garlic in the skillet with the ground beef before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water and stir it into the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe makes great leftovers; the flavors deepen overnight.
