Beef Macaroni Soup
When you’re looking for a soup that’s comfy as can be and also filling and delicious, look no further than Beef and Macaroni. I remember loving this soup in my childhood, even though at the time I claimed to hate all soup. Thanks to the beefy tomato flavor and tender macaroni, though, it’s the kind of soup that kids just can’t seem to resist… But really that goes for kids of all ages, from two right on up to one hundred and two.
Never fear, this isn’t the type of soup you have to simmer all day to achieve optimum flavor. Nope. It comes together in just about thirty minutes, and it’s a simple, straightforward process without a ton of ingredients.
You start with onion, garlic, and ground beef that you brown up in a pot…
… and then simmer in a mixture of beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, thyme, and bay leaves. That simmers just until it’s thickened a bit and the flavors have come together, ten minutes or so.
