How to Make Beef Macaroni Soup:
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink. Drain off excess fat, if needed.
- Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and let cook 10 minutes. Stir in macaroni and continue simmering until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes more.
- Adjust seasoning as needed and enjoy!
Tips
-
To prevent soggy pasta, cook macaroni separately and add when serving.
-
Add more broth if the soup becomes too thick.
-
For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream at the end.
-
Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken if you prefer a lighter soup.
