Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 cups egg noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot; cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the basil, oregano, beef broth, water, and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Add the egg noodles and reduce to a simmer. Cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
Add a bay leaf or a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
This soup is perfect for meal prep—store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Add extra broth or water if reheating, as noodles may absorb liquid over time.
