6 cups beef broth

Notes
Swap cauliflower for broccoli or zucchini for a different low-carb twist.
Add diced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese before serving for a richer flavor.
Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicier soup.
