Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 large Onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 (15-ounce) can Diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15-ounce) can Tomato sauce
- 3 ounces Tomato paste (about ¼ cup)
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1–2 cups Water, adjust as needed for consistency
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt, or to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces Bowtie pasta (uncooked)
- Suggested toppings:
- ½ cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 ounces Mozzarella cheese, shredded (about ½ cup)
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shaved, shredded, or fresh grated
- ¼ cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat a 4.5-quart soup pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
- Add ground beef, onions, and garlic to the pot. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and uncooked pasta.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking. Cook until the pasta is tender.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more water or broth if needed.
- Optional: Add ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese to the entire pot or serve on the side for individual portions. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
- Details:
- Serve this comforting soup as a cozy family meal or a hearty dish for chilly days. The blend of beef, tomatoes, and pasta creates a rich, savory flavor, and the cheese topping adds a creamy touch to each bite.
- You can make this soup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze it for longer storage.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the consistency by adding extra water or broth. The pasta absorbs much of the liquid as it sits.
- This soup can be made in a pressure cooker following specific instructions if you prefer a quicker method.
- Storage Instructions:
- Refrigerate cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- To freeze, store the soup in a sealed container or vacuum-sealed bag for up to 90 days.
- Reheating:
- When reheating, add extra water or broth as needed to restore the soup’s consistency since the noodles will absorb much of the liquid.
