Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cups orzo pasta
- 2 cups baby spinach (optional)
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside on a plate.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir to combine.
Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the orzo pasta to the boiling soup. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the orzo is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
If using baby spinach, stir it into the soup during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking until wilted.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
