Macaroni Soup
A hearty soup full of beef, vegetables, and macaroni. A perfect soup to warm your soul on a chilly day!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 cups cooked macaroni
- Diced onion to taste
- 1 carton beef broth
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 stalks chopped celery
- 2 cups sliced carrots
- A few dashes oregano to taste
- A few dashes basil to taste
- A few dashes seasoned salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown a pound of ground beef in your Dutch oven (or a large pot). Drain the grease when cooked.
- Meanwhile, cook macaroni in a separate pot.
- Add diced onion to your beef and cook until onions are translucent (a few minutes).
- Add an entire carton of beef broth, a can of tomato sauce, a can of diced tomatoes, chopped celery, and sliced carrots.
- Add 3 cups of cooked macaroni.
- Season with a few dashes of oregano, basil, and seasoned salt. Adjust to your taste.
- Simmer covered on low for at least 30 minutes to an hour. It can simmer for hours if you need.
- Top individual bowls with black pepper!
Notes
- Add as much or as little of the vegetables as you want!
- I use pre-sliced "carrot chips". Feel free to use any variation of carrots you want (baby, diced, etc.).
- I recommend cooking this in a Dutch oven if you have one because they simmer soups beautifully, but a large pot will work as well.
- This could be done in the crockpot as well. Just brown your ground beef first and then add all the ingredients to the crockpot except the macaroni and cook on low for the day. Add uncooked macaroni in about 30 minutes before serving and it should cook in the crockpot. You could also cook the macaroni separately and add it in.
