Notes
The nutritional information provided is for one bowl of soup and does not include the optional toppings.
To make the soup vegetarian, substitute meatless crumbles or soy chorizo for the ground beef.
To freeze the soup, place it in freezer-safe plastic bags or plastic containers and place in the freezer for up to 6 months. Be sure to leave 1 inch of space in the container for the soup to expand in the freezer.
To reheat the soup from the freezer, add it back to a crockpot set to low for 2 hours, or add it to a large pot on the stove over medium heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until completely thawed and heated through.
