The best part about making all homemade soup is that it’s easy to make it your own and modify it according to your personal tastes. This beef soup is no exception. For instance, instead of using white wine, you may find you prefer the robust, umami flavor of red. Red or white, just be sure to use the same amount of wine stated in the recipe. Now that you’ve mastered this recipe, we have plenty more simmering soup recipes for you to conquer.
