Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef? Absolutely! Ground turkey is a great substitute for a leaner option.
- Can I make this soup ahead of time? Yes! The soup actually tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
