Serves: 6 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb (450g) ground beef
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
6 cups (1.5L) beef broth
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup elbow macaroni
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the Beef:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess grease.
Add Vegetables:
Add diced onions, carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Simmer the Soup:
Pour in the beef broth and canned diced tomatoes (with their juices).
Add the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Cook the Macaroni:
Stir in the elbow macaroni and cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Garnish and Serve:
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm!
Serving Suggestions
Pair this hearty soup with warm crusty bread or garlic toast.
Add a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
