Ingredients and Variations

GROUND BEEF: Use fresh or leftover ground beef, but chicken or Italian sausage works, too! If time is short, use a bag of frozen meatballs.

PASTA: Elbow macaroni is a fun shape that holds the tomato broth well, but any short pasta will do. Egg noodles or shells are also good choices!

SOUP: Whisk in a little milk for a creamy tomato soup base.

VEGGIES: Why not add veggies like mushrooms, diced potatoes, zucchini or even chopped baby kale for extra color and nutrition! Short on time? Toss in a bag of frozen mixed vegetables!

How to make Macaroni Soup

Saute onions, bell peppers, and garlic in oil (as per the recipe below).
Add ground beef, cook and drain off excess fat. Stir in seasonings.
Add soup, diced tomatoes, beef broth, and water. Bring to a boil.
Add pasta, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until pasta is al dente.

Leftovers

Beef and tomato macaroni soup tastes better the next day! Keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat it on the stove, and add fresh pasta, if desired. Freeze chilled soup in zippered bags for up to 2 months.

Tips & Ideas

Cook the pasta separately, add to each individual bowl, then add the soup on top. The soup base can be easily refrigerated, or frozen, and reheated without fear of the pasta becoming becoming mushy.
Make this recipe into a casserole! Simply decreasing the amount of beef broth and add extra pasta. Spread into a casserole dish, cover with shredded cheddar cheese, and place under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve this delish soup with a cucumber radish salad, a spinach strawberry salad, and a basket loaded with cheesy bread!
