Notes
This soup is very adaptable. You can substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for beef, add extra vegetables, or make it vegetarian by omitting the meat. For a spicier soup, add red pepper flakes. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some noodles against the side of the slow cooker or add a cornstarch slurry.
