Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
6 cups beef broth
14 oz diced tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 whole bay leaf
1.75 cups macaroni
1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions

In a large pot, heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until it is browned.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, and then add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and the bay leaf. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
Once boiling, add the macaroni and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir to incorporate everything evenly. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the macaroni is al dente.
After the macaroni is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Discard the bay leaf, and let the soup sit for a few minutes.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese if desired.

Keywords: For a richer flavor, consider browning the beef with a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt before adding the onion. Don’t skip the bay leaf; it adds a subtle depth of flavor that enhances the overall taste of the soup.
