Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 medium, diced carrot
• 2 diced celery stalks
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cup uncooked short pasta (e.g., ditalini or elbow)
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnishing) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute or until fragrant.

Step 5

Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously, to enhance its flavor.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 8

Add the uncooked pasta to the pot and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf and discard.

Step 11

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