Description

A hearty and comforting Beef and Macaroni Soup that combines prime ground beef, fresh vegetables, and tender elbow pasta in a rich beef stock. Perfect for chilly evenings, this soup is packed with flavor and easy to prepare.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound prime ground beef
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 6 cups rich beef stock
  • 14 ounces fresh chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons sundried tomato puree
  • 1 teaspoon traditional Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon crushed oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried sweet basil
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked elbow pasta
  • 1 ½ cups quick-freeze garden vegetables
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Freshly shredded cheese for topping
  • Optional: Warm crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  • In a robust soup cauldron, combine the ground beef and red onions. Cook until the beef is perfectly browned and the onions are translucent. Skim off any extra fat to ensure a lean soup base.
  • Pour in the beef stock, and add the freshly chopped tomatoes, sundried tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce, crushed oregano, and sweet basil. Stir and let it come to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle.
  • Add the uncooked elbow pasta and quick-freeze garden vegetables to the pot. Simmer for roughly 8 minutes until the pasta is tender but still holds its shape.
  • Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Stir well.
  • Serve the soup in bowls, and if desired, sprinkle a handful of freshly shredded cheese on top. Enjoy with warm crusty bread for a comforting meal.

Notes

This soup is a perfect way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to customize with your favorites!
