Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups corkscrew macaroni (uncooked)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: additional Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
-
Cook the Beef: In a large skillet or soup pot, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
-
-
Drain the Fat: Once the beef is browned, carefully drain off any excess fat. You want to leave just enough to keep the beef moist.
-
Add the Flavorings: Sprinkle the garlic powder and onion powder over the beef. Stir in the beef broth and diced tomatoes. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium.
-
Add the Pasta: Stir in the uncooked corkscrew macaroni. Continue to cook the soup at a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and cooked through.
-
Incorporate the Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and blends into the soup, adding a rich, cheesy flavor.
-
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy this comforting and quick meal!
