Beef and Macaroni Soup

Print Recipe

A comforting soup made with tender beef, macaroni, and vibrant vegetables, simmered in a flavorful broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 medium carrots (peeled and diced)
  • 2 celery ribs (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup elbow macaroni (uncooked)
  • 1 cup frozen corn (optional)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and the onions become translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it browns. Cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir to coat everything evenly.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the beef broth and water. Bring to a gentle boil and then reduce the heat to low, letting it simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni and corn (if using). Increase the heat to medium, allowing the soup to boil gently. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
