Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
  • 2 large yellow onions - minced
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (14-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 cup water - plus more if needed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans
  • 16 oz frozen peas and carrots
  • 8 oz elbow macaroni
  • fresh chopped parsley - to garnish

Instructions

  • Add one teaspoon of olive oil to a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or saucepot set over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to season. Once cooked, transfer the beef to a fine mesh strainer to drain. Set aside.
  • Return the pot to medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and minced onions. Cook the onions for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, or until starting to soften. And the garlic and cook until fragrant, approximately 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, and cook for approximately 1 minute before adding the beef broth, cannellini beans, and entire bag of frozen peas and carrots. Mix thoroughly to combine. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
  • Add the ground beef back to the pot and immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover your pot with a tight-fitting lid and allow your soup to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • As the soup simmers, cook the macaroni noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve each bowl with a scoop or two of cooked elbow macaroni noodles and fresh chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through.
  • For best results, freeze this soup before adding any pasta. Pasta does not freeze well.
