Ingredients
Scale
For the Soup:
- 2 cups egg noodles (or any sturdy pasta)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
- 3 cups beef broth
- 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. - Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced celery, and sliced carrots. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. - Cook the Ground Beef:
Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Brown the beef for about 7-8 minutes until it’s fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess fat if necessary. - Season the Soup:
Stir in the oregano, basil, seasoned salt, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the dry onion soup mix and stir for about 30 seconds, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aroma. - Add Liquids:
Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. - Add Noodles and Finish:
Add the cooked egg noodles to the soup and stir. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the noodles through. - Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting, savory flavors of this hearty soup!
