Cooking
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked; drain excess fat if necessary.

Notes
Store unused soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Freeze for up to three months. When reheating, gently warm on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if the soup thickens too much.
