Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Liquids and Broth

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 3 cups water
  • 14 oz. diced tomatoes (not drained)
  • 2 beef bouillon cubes

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup celery, sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, sliced
  • 9 oz. frozen mixed veggies

Pasta and Seasoning

  • 1/2 lb uncooked pasta
  • 1/2 tsp basil

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a 4 quart saucepan or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks for even texture.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the browned beef, cooking until the onion becomes tender and translucent.
  3. Drain fat and combine ingredients: Drain any excess fat from the pan, then add beef broth, water, diced tomatoes (with juice), uncooked pasta, celery, carrots, beef bouillon cubes, and basil to the pot, stirring well to combine.
  4. Bring to boil: Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Simmer the soup: Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer gently for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to meld the flavors together.
  6. Add frozen vegetables: Stir in the frozen mixed veggies, continuing to cook the soup for an additional 10 minutes or until the vegetables and pasta are tender.

Notes

  • For a leaner option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey.
  • You can use any short pasta like elbow macaroni, small shells, or rotini.
  • Adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste, as bouillon cubes may already add significant saltiness.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce water slightly or add less broth.
  • For extra flavor, garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan before serving.
