Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pasta

  • 1 cup elbow macaroni pasta

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked. Make sure to break the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess grease to keep the soup lighter.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the browned beef. Cook and stir until the onions become translucent and soft, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add carrots and celery: Stir in the diced carrots and chopped celery. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly while releasing their flavors.
  4. Add tomatoes and broth: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices, then add the low-sodium beef broth and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Cook the macaroni: Stir in the elbow macaroni pasta, then reduce heat to low. Let the soup simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheese or fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your comforting hamburger soup with macaroni!

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • If you prefer, substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a lighter flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or green beans for extra nutrition.
  • Cooking time for pasta may vary depending on the brand; check package instructions.
  • To thicken the soup, you can simmer uncovered a bit longer or add a tablespoon of tomato paste.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
