Ingredients

For the Base

1 tablespoon Oil Adds fat for sautéing aromatics; substitute with vegetable oil or broth for a lighter version.
2 slices Ginger Provides warmth and aroma; can be replaced with ground ginger if fresh isn't available.
3 cloves Garlic Infuses flavor; you can omit or replace with garlic powder if needed.
½ pound Lean Ground Beef Forms the soup's protein base; use turkey or omit for a vegetarian variant.
1 can Tomato Paste Delivers a rich tomato flavor; substitute with a 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes for added chunkiness.
6 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Stock Acts as the soup base; vegetable broth is a good option for a vegetarian version.

For the Flavoring

2 teaspoons Sugar Balances acidity in the soup; use honey or omit for less sweetness.
1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavors; adjust or use a salt substitute for low-sodium diets.
⅛ teaspoon Ground White Pepper Adds a mild spice; substitute with black pepper to taste.
1 tablespoon White Vinegar Brightens flavors; lemon juice works as an alternative.

For the Garnish

2 Scallions Adds freshness; can substitute with chives or omit if desired.
3 packs Enoki Mushrooms Provides delicate texture and umami; substitute with shiitake or button mushrooms if needed.
