Notes
PRO TIP: For the best flavor, let the soup simmer on low heat for an extra 10-15 minutes after the potatoes are tender. This allows the ingredients to blend together, intensifying the rich and smoky taste that's reminiscent of classic cowboy stew. Add a little bit of ground cumin for extra depth of flavor.
