I like chunky slices of Beef in this soup, but you can use Beef Mince. I like this soup thin, and the rice firm and smooth. That’s why I just pour the soup over hot rice. The rice can be cooked in the soup, but the texture of the rice could become soft and starchy. You might like that texture, though.
