Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
Yes, this soup freezes really well actually. Make sure your soup is completely cooled before putting into freezer containers and freezing. Use within 6 months.
If stored properly in the fridge this soup is good for 4-5 days.
Browning the beef brings out the beef flavor. I also would think that just adding raw beef will make it cook together in whatever size chunks they were added as. I also have some food poisoning concerns with adding it raw.
To cut this recipe in half only add 1 can of the tomato sauce, still add the entire can of diced tomatoes, omit the can of corn and measure out the remaining ingredients in half the amounts listed.

Made this for dinner for the family last night. It was delicious. I ate way too much. Some tortilla chips on the side made it a perfect meal for me. Thanks Mindee.
