My bean soup went from bland to amazing after a $2 change
I've been making the same cheap bean soup for years. It was always just okay. Kind of boring. Last week I grabbed a smoked ham hock from the butcher counter. It was only two dollars. Threw it in the pot with my dried beans and water. Let it simmer for like three hours. The difference was crazy. The whole pot had this deep, smoky flavor. The beans were so much richer. My partner actually asked for seconds, which never happens. It felt like a restaurant soup for pennies. What other cheap cuts do you guys use to boost flavor?

Seriously, try a beef bone from the butcher for stock.
