Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 3 cups water
- 14 oz diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 1/2 lb uncooked pasta (egg noodles or your favorite shape)
- 1/2 cup celery, sliced
- 1/2 cup carrots, sliced
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 9 oz frozen mixed vegetables
Preparation
In a 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is tender and translucent. Drain excess fat, then add the beef broth, water, diced tomatoes, uncooked pasta, celery, carrots, beef bouillon cubes, and dried basil. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. After simmering, add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the pasta is cooked through.
Serve this hearty Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. It’s a nutritious and filling meal that’s perfect for cozy nights in or busy weeknights. Enjoy!
