Ingredients:

• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, or preferred oil

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 large onion, diced

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice

• 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, or tomato puree

• 3 ounces tomato paste (1/4 cup)

• 4 cups chicken broth

• 1-2 cups water, or more as needed to adjust consistency

• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

• 1 teaspoon sea salt, or more as needed to adjust flavor

• Black pepper, to taste

• 8 ounces uncooked bowtie pasta (or substitute with your favorite pasta)

Suggested Toppings:

• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

• 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shaved

• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Heat Oil: Heat a 4.5-quart soup pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.

2. Cook Meat & Vegetables: Add ground beef, onions, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the beef is cooked through, stirring as needed. Drain excess fat if necessary.

3. Add Tomatoes & Broth: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and pasta noodles.

4. Bring to Boil: Increase heat to high and bring the soup to a boil.

5. Simmer: Reduce heat to a medium simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the pasta is cooked to your liking, stirring frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking together.

   • Tip: If needed, add more water or broth in small amounts to adjust the soup consistency.

6. Serve: You can either mix in the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses for a fully creamy soup, or add these cheeses to individual bowls as toppings. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Storing Tips

• To store, let the soup cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 90 days. If reheating, add extra water or broth as needed, as the pasta may absorb the broth during storage.
