- For the best flavor, use fresh ground beef instead of pre-packaged.
- Make sure to use mild green chilies for a milder flavor.
- Substitute ground turkey for the ground beef to reduce fat and calories. This is a healthier alternative that still provides the same flavor.
- Substitute vegetable broth for the water to add more flavor and depth to the soup. This will make the soup more savory and flavorful.
Vegetarian Version Replace the ground beef with a vegetarian meat substitute such as tempeh, tofu, or seitan. Omit the egg and replace with 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs. Follow the same instructions for making the meatballs and adding to the soup.
