- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup green beans, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup elbow macaroni (optional)

- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Toss in diced carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until vegetables soften.
- Stir in diced tomatoes (with juice), beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add frozen corn, green beans, and elbow macaroni (if using). Simmer for 10-12 minutes until pasta and vegetables are tender.
- Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, omit the macaroni or use a gluten-free pasta alternative.
- This soup freezes well; however, if freezing, consider adding the pasta fresh when reheating to avoid mushiness.
- Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for extra spice.
