Instructions

🍳 Brown the Ground Beef:

  1. Heat Oil:

    • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  2. Cook the Beef:

    • Drain excess fat if needed.

  3. Add Onion and Garlic:

    • Stir in chopped onion and garlic.
    • Cook until the onion is soft and fragrant (2-3 minutes).

🥕 Add Vegetables and Broth:

    • Add carrots, celery, diced tomatoes (with juice), beef broth, and tomato sauce to the pot.

  2. Season the Soup:

    • Stir in Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Bring to a Simmer:

    • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
    • Simmer for 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

🍝 Add Pasta and Cook:

Notes

  • Make It Creamy: Add 1/2 cup heavy cream or a splash of milk for a creamy version.
  • Add More Veggies: Include peas, zucchini, or chopped spinach for extra nutrition.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The pasta will absorb more broth, so add a splash of water or broth when reheating.
