Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 packet Beefy Onion Soup mix
- 1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 16 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups macaroni noodles
- Grated or shaved parmesan and chopped parsley for garnish.
Instructions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, over medium heat, brown the ground beef in the olive oil. Drain excess fat if desired.
- To the cooked beef, add the soup mix, diced tomatoes, beef broth, and water.
- Stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Pour in the mixed vegetables and macaroni noodles.
- Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the noodles are soft.
- Remove from heat and serve warm with garnishes.
Notes
- Switch the pound ground beef for ground turkey, Italian sausage, or ground chicken.
- Substitute vegetable broth for the beef if you prefer.
- Spice it up with taco seasoning and fire-roasted tomatoes, top with sour cream.
- I prefer frozen vegetables but you can use canned ones. If using fresh, be sure to blanch them first.
- If you want to increase the thickness of the soup, stir in a small amount of a cornstarch slurry. Go slow at first, as it will thicken fast.
