A warm, hearty, and flavorful hamburger soup with elbow macaroni – perfect for chilly nights or when you need cozy comfort in a bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 pound minced beef
  • 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato concentrate
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (28 ounces)
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 2 cups uncooked small elbow macaroni
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat until sizzling hot, about 2 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned evenly, approximately 6–8 minutes. Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat from the pot.

2. Add onions, garlic, and carrots to the pot. Sauté the vegetables until tender, about 2–3 minutes.

3. Stir in Italian herbs, salt, pepper, tomato concentrate, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix to combine. Add diced tomatoes and beef stock. Stir thoroughly. Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.

4. Once boiling, stir in the elbow macaroni. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through.

5. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Minced beef can be substituted with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles. Adjust cooking time as needed. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of beef stock. Elbow macaroni can be replaced with gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles; add zucchini at the end of cooking to avoid overcooking. Always check pasta package instructions if using an alternative type.
