Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Hamburger Soup with Macaroni.
Step 1
Begin by warming a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once hot, introduce the ground beef and finely chopped onion.
Step 3
Sauté them together, stirring often, until the beef is beautifully browned and crumbly, and the onion turns a lovely translucent shade, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Be sure to drain any excess grease to keep your soup light and flavorful.
Step 5
Next, incorporate the diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, carrots, celery, parsley, bay leaf, salt, chili powder, and thyme into the pot.
Step 6
Bring this vibrant mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook for 3 to 4 hours.
Step 7
This slow cooking process is key, as it lets the flavors meld into a rich, hearty delight.
Step 8
When the time is right, add the uncooked elbow macaroni to the pot.
Step 9
Stir occasionally as it cooks until the macaroni reaches that perfect tender yet firm texture, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 10
Enjoy the comforting aroma that fills your kitchen as you create this delicious dish!.
