Notes

Variations to the Recipe:
Ground Beef- Instead of chunks of stew beef, use ground beef in this recipe. You can even use different types of proteins, such as chicken, turkey and sausage.
Beans- Add cannellini beans or kidney beans for added flavor and a thicker soup. Chickpeas are also a great addition and, like beans, will add protein to the meal.
Vegetables- Fresh veggies always make a great addition to soups, whether you add cubed potatoes, leeks or kale. They will add color and nutrients to your soup. Cabbage is in season during colder winter months and also makes a tasty addition.
Pasta- Use ditalini, elbow macaroni, penne pasta, broken spaghetti, or whatever you have in the pantry instead of bowties. Just make sure to choose a pasta that is bite-size and can easily fit on your spoon.
