Variations & Tips
For a bit of a kick, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the beef broth. You can also throw in a few cloves of garlic for extra flavor. If you prefer a more savory taste, try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free onion soup mix and serve on gluten-free rolls. This recipe is also great with a slice of provolone or Swiss cheese melted on top of the beef.
