Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (15 oz) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
- 2 (15 oz) cans beef broth
- 1 (15 oz) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15 oz) can mixed vegetables, drained
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 ½ cups uncooked egg noodles
Instructions
- Brown Beef and Sauté Onions: In a large soup pot, cook the lean ground beef, finely diced onion, kosher salt, and black pepper over medium-high heat. Crumble the beef as it cooks to ensure even browning. Once the beef is no longer pink, drain any excess grease from the pot to reduce fat content.
- Blend and Add Tomatoes: Pour the Italian-style stewed tomatoes into a blender and blend until smooth. Add the blended tomatoes back into the soup pot with the cooked beef and onions, stirring to combine.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the beef broth, petite diced tomatoes (with their juice), drained mixed vegetables, dried basil, and dried parsley to the pot. Stir the ingredients together and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook Noodles: Once the soup reaches a boil, stir in the uncooked egg noodles. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the soup simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Drain excess fat after browning the beef for a leaner soup.
- Blending the stewed tomatoes creates a smoother, richer soup base.
- Using canned mixed vegetables is an easy way to add nutrition and texture.
- Cook the noodles directly in the soup to absorb flavors, but monitor to avoid overcooking.
- This soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
