Beef and Macaroni Soup Ingredients

• Ground beef– 1 pound of lean ground beef is needed for the recipe. You could substitute with ground turkey if desired.
• Onion– ½ cup of diced onion is cooked with the beef.
• Garlic– 3 cloves of minced garlic are added to the beef and onions to elevate the flavor.
• Beef broth– You will need 6 cups of beef broth which makes the base of the soup.
• Diced tomatoes– One 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes is added to the soup. No need to drain the juice, just pour it all in.
• Tomato paste– 2 tablespoons of tomato paste give the broth more tomato flavor.
• Worcestershire sauce-1 teaspoon of sauce adds depth of flavor to the soup.
• Spices– ½ teaspoon of dried oregano and basil plus 1 bay leaf add great flavor.
• Elbow macaroni– Use 1½ cups of elbow macaroni or you can substitute it with another similar-sized pasta.
• Vegetables– 1½ cups of mixed frozen vegetables (green beans, corn, carrots, and peas). No need to cook or thaw them first, you can add them frozen.
• Parmesan cheese– Shredded parmesan cheese makes a wonderful topping if desired.

How to Make Macaroni Soup?

Hamburger soup with pasta is hearty and flavorful and is sure to be a family favorite! The soup is wonderful when served with warm bread and a salad.

1. Add ground beef and onions to a large pot. Cook the beef until it is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the garlic.
2. Pour in the beef broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire, oregano, basil, and bay leaf. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add the pasta and vegetables, stir, and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the macaroni is tender.
4. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) and top with shredded parmesan cheese if desired.

What Goes with Macaroni Soup?

Beef macaroni soup pairs well with dinner rolls, Homemade Italian Bread, or cornbread. A lettuce salad or grilled cheese sandwich would also make a great addition.

Tips and Tricks for Making Macaroni Soup

1. Elbow macaroni is used in this recipe, but you can use any smaller noodles such as rotini, penne, shell, farfalle, or fusilli.
2. I recommend cooking the noodles al dente as they will continue to cook slightly in the pot and soak up the broth.
3. Drain excess fat from your beef so it doesn’t make your broth greasy.

Freeze Hamburger Macaroni Soup

Soup with ground beef and pasta freezes well if you cook the pasta al dente. That way the pasta won’t get overcooked and mushy when reheating. Store in a freezer bag or airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Store leftover beef macaroni soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
