Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup frozen corn or green beans (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Step 1: Cook the Beef & Vegetables
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
  • Stir in the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Step 2: Add Liquids & Simmer
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
  • Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
  • Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Step 3: Cook the Macaroni
  • Stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni and continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  • If using frozen corn or green beans, add them in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Ladle into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

  • Make It Creamy: Stir in ½ cup of heavy cream at the end for a richer, creamier soup.
  • Add More Protein: Toss in a can of drained kidney beans for extra heartiness.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. If reheating, add extra broth as the pasta will absorb liquid over time.
  • Freezing Tip: If freezing, cook the soup without the macaroni. When ready to serve, cook fresh macaroni separately and stir it in before eating.
