Equipment
- 1 medium soup pot
Ingredients
- 6 cups beef broth You have the option to buy this product boxed, canned, wet concentrate or dry mix. Just follow the instructions on the package when you make your purchase.
- 1 lb ground beef (browned and drained)
- 1 - 14 oz can of diced tomatoes
- ½ cup small elbow macaroni noodles You will think this is not enough, but it is plenty.
- 1 small onion chopped (about 1/3 cup) If you prefer to use onion powder, use 1 teaspoon.
- ½ tsp powdered garlic
- ½ tsp black pepper or to your preference
- ½ tsp salt Since store-bought broth is often salty enough, I would refrain from adding salt until the end of the cooking time, after tasting the soup first.
Instructions
- Brown and drain the ground beef.
- Using a medium soup pot, add 6 cups of beef broth. Add the browned and drained ground beef, tomatoes, chopped onion, black pepper, and garlic powder and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
- Once your soup base comes to a boil add the 1/2 cup of small elbow macaroni and stir. Turn down to medium heat and allow the macaroni to cook which is about 10 minutes. Turn the heat off and let set for 10 or 15 minutes.
- Serve up hot with grilled cheese sandwiches or crusty bread.
Note: You can customize this simple beef soup recipe by omitting the elbow macaroni noodles and adding a 14-ounce bag of mixed vegetables instead, creating a delicious and hearty beef vegetable soup. Just cook the soup over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, and enjoy a nutritious and comforting meal.
