Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups beef broth
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1.5 cups macaroni noodles
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Transfer the cooked ground beef to the crock pot.
Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, diced celery, and minced garlic to the crock pot.
Pour in the beef broth and canned diced tomatoes (with juices).
Stir in the tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the macaroni noodles to the crock pot and stir well. Ensure they are fully submerged in the liquid to cook evenly.
Check the soup after 30 minutes to ensure the noodles are tender. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
