Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes (canned with juices)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 whole bay leaf
  • 1.75 cups macaroni
  • 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef and Onions: Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, breaking the beef apart with a spoon as it cooks until browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving just a thin coating in the pot to enhance flavor.
  2. Add Tomato Paste: Stir in the tomato paste with the beef and onions, cooking constantly for 1-2 minutes to develop depth and prevent raw flavor.
  3. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in beef broth, diced tomatoes with juices, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and bay leaf. Stir well to combine and dissolve the tomato paste completely.
  4. Simmer: Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low. Simmer gently for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  5. Add Pasta and Vegetables: Stir in macaroni and frozen mixed vegetables. Return to gentle boil, then simmer uncovered over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and vegetables heated through.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, leave a thin layer of fat after draining excess grease from the beef.
  • Do not skip the gentle simmer after adding broth to allow flavors to meld.
  • Adjust salt carefully as beef broth and Worcestershire sauce contribute to seasoning.
  • Frozen mixed vegetables typically include corn, peas, carrots, and green beans but feel free to customize.
  • Macaroni continues to absorb broth, so add pasta last for perfect texture.
