For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade beef broth. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend it before serving. This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld.
