Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
This soup freezes really well. Just keep in a freezer-safe container. Leave about 1" of head space to allow for expansion.
When you want to reheat, take the soup out the night before and thaw in the refrigerator. Then, warm on the stove in a small pot.
Variations
Slow Cooker: This soup can be easily made in a slow cooker. Just brown the ground beef on the stove then add everything in the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours.
Ground Turkey: Ground turkey can be used in place of ground beef. Just substitute the beef broth for chicken broth.
Cheeseburger soup: Add some cheese and make this a cheeseburger soup.
Spicy: This soup can easily be made spicy. Use spicy Italian sausage instead of ground beef and add in some red pepper flakes.
Substitutions
Russet Potatoes or red potatoes: Either of these can be used in place of the Yukon gold.
Frozen Vegetables can be used in place of canned. Just add them with the stock so it has a little longer to bring to temp.
Equipment
Large Dutch Oven or other soup pot: Make sure it's at least 7 quarts or bigger.
