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

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion (diced)
2 medium cloves garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black poepper
4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 small green cabbage (finely chopped (4 cups))
3 medium carrots (peeled and diced (1 cup))
1 medium zucchini (diced (optional))
1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup small pasta of your choice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Additional salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: Fresh basil and/or parsley (drizzle of olive oil, shredded Parmesan cheese)
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 pound lean ground beef

Steps:

  • Drizzle the olive oil into a large saute pan set over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring once or twice, for 1 minute. Splash in about 1/2 cup of the vegetable broth and scrape up any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Pour into slow cooker.
  • To the slow cooker, add remaining vegetable broth, cabbage, carrots, zucchini if using, beans, and tomatoes. (If you're adding 1 pound ground beef to the entire batch, you can cook and drain ground beef well and add it now.) Cook for 8 hours on low (5-6 hours on high should also do the trick).
  • 30 minutes before the cooking process ends, add pasta and put lid back on the Crock Pot.* Continue cooking on low until tender.
  • *At this point, if you're adding ground beef to half, set a large saucepan over medium heat, add the 1/2 pound ground beef, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Transfer a little less than half the soup to the pan with the ground beef and let simmer, covered, until pasta is completely tender and soup is heated through.
  • Stir in red wine vinegar (divide between separate pots if doing the half-meaty version) and taste. Add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve topped with chopped parsley and/or basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and pass with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Short, sturdy pastas like penne, shells, or macaroni are ideal for this soup, as they can hold up to the cooking process without becoming mushy.
  • Brown the beef well. Browning the beef adds flavor and richness to the soup. Be sure to brown the beef in batches so that it doesn't steam.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Beef broth or stock is the base of this soup, so it's important to use a high-quality broth that is packed with flavor. You can also use chicken broth or stock if you prefer.
  • Add plenty of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and texture to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Season the soup well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are essential seasonings for this soup. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as oregano, basil, or thyme.
  • Let the soup simmer. Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.

Conclusion:

Pasta beef soup is a hearty, flavorful, and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will love.
