Cooking Tip

Lean Ground Beef

A very lean ground beef will render less fat when cooked leaving more beef. The fat is what provides much of the flavor of ground beef and removing most of it leaves meat with little flavor, which is ok in the case of this soup recipe where the beef is not the showcase.

Cooking Tip

Uncooked White Rice

White rice is the most common type of rice. White rice tends to be more delicate and fluffy than other types, as the tough outer husk has been removed and the bran layers milled down, leaving the white part of the grain.
