PASTA BEEF SOUP
Convenient canned goods, tomato juice and a frozen pasta-vegetable medley make it flavorful and fast. But it's also flexible because you can use other ingredients, such as a different frozen pasta-vegetable blend. On occasion, I stir in shredded zucchini or yellow squash, too.-Brenda Jackson, Garden City, Kansas

BASIC PASTA BEEF OR CHICKEN SOUP
I read a similar recipe to this on Cooks.com. When I would watch my 2 DGDs after school, in the winter, they would want something warm. I experimented a little and came up with this recipe they seem to like. I got to be looking forward to a steaming bowl of this soup with a handful of croutons floating in it,too. I used this soup to test various croutons too. A real quick, simple meal. Any of these ingredients may be omitted or others added. I am still experimenting, too. I started using small soup mugs for the children when I discovered their smaller hands could control the mug, because of the handle,better, plus they think it is cool.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Short, sturdy pastas like penne, shells, or macaroni are best for this soup, as they hold their shape well and don't get mushy.
- Use a flavorful broth. Homemade beef or chicken broth is ideal, but you can also use a good-quality store-bought broth.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much pasta or vegetables, the soup will be watery and bland.
- Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a bit of brightness.
- Let the soup simmer. Simmering allows the flavors to meld and develop. Don't boil the soup, or the pasta will become mushy.
- Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream. This will add a touch of richness and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
These basic pasta beef or chicken soup recipes are a great way to warm up on a cold day or to use up leftover meat and vegetables. They are also a good source of protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
