For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef and use vegetable broth instead of tomato juice for a lighter flavor. Feel free to add other vegetables such as celery, zucchini, or peas to customize the soup to your liking. A bay leaf added during simmering can enhance the depth of flavor; remember to remove it before serving. Serve with a crusty bread or grilled cheese sandwich for a complete meal.
