Tips and Tricks

• Properly Season the Beef:Make sure you add salt and pepper to the beef before you cook it to improve its flavor.
• Sauté the Aromatics:Cooking the onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the pot before adding other ingredients helps develop a rich base flavor for the soup.
• Use Quality Broth:High-quality beef broth and tomato/vegetable juice will greatly impact the taste of your soup.
• Simmer Slowly:Letting the soup simmer slowly allows all the flavors to meld together. The longer you simmer, the richer the flavor will be.
• Adjust Cajun Seasoning:The amount of Cajun seasoning can be adjusted to your spice preference. Start with less and add more if desired.
• Taste and Adjust:Taste the soup before you serve it and add more salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning if you think it needs it.

What Can Serve with This Dish?

• Crusty Bread or Baguette:Serve slices of crusty bread or a warm baguette on the side for dipping into the soup.
• Rice:A scoop of white or brown rice can be served alongside the soup for a heartier meal.
• Salad:Salad with a light vinaigrette dressing goes well with the meal and makes it more refreshing.
• Cornbread:Cornbread is a popular classic side dish for soups and stews and complements the Cajun flavors.
• Crackers:A plate of crackers, such as saltines or oyster crackers, is a quick and easy option for some added crunch.

Storing and Reheating Tips

• Storing:After cooking and serving, allow the soup to cool to room temperature. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days in an airtight container.
• Freezing:You can freeze soup to store it longer. Cool it completely before transferring to airtight containers or freezer bags. Leave some room for expansion, seal tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheating on the Stovetop:To reheat, place the desired amount of soup in a pot on the stovetop. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it’s heated through.
• Reheating in the Microwave:To reheat soup in the microwave, put it in a container that can go in the microwave. Stirring it in between, heat it for 1 minute at a time until it reaches the temperature you want.
