FAQs

Can I use other cuts of beef for this soup?

Yes, tougher cuts like chuck roast or brisket work well as they become tender with slow cooking. Avoid lean or quick-cooking cuts as they might dry out.

What can I substitute for the tomato soup?

You can use canned crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce as a substitute. Adjust the seasoning and add a little sugar if needed to balance acidity.
