Beef and Macaroni Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
  • 3 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
  • 3 (14 ounce) cans water
  • 6 medium carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 ribs celery with leaves, chopped
  • 6 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
Instructions
1
Preheat a substantial cooking vessel over an elevated heat setting, ensuring it reaches the desired temperature. Introduce ground beef and finely chopped onion into the pot; stir constantly until the meat achieves a rich, dark color and becomes crumbly, while the onion softens and loses its crisp texture, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove excess fat from the pot using a suitable straining device.
2
Combine diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, carrots, celery, parsley, bay leaf, salt, chili powder, and thyme in the pot; bring the mixture to a gentle boil before initiating a prolonged cooking process, lasting 3 to 4 hours.
3
Add macaroni; stir occasionally until the pasta reaches a satisfying yet still slightly firm texture, typically 8 to 10 minutes.
