  • 2 cups beef broth

  4. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Cooking

Notes

Let leftovers cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage, using within 2-3 months for best flavor. For a thicker soup, mash a portion of the beans before adding them.
