Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups egg noodles (or any sturdy pasta)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
- 3 cups beef broth
- 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously, add the egg noodles, and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced celery, and carrots. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Cook the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Brown the beef for about 7-8 minutes until it’s fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Season the soup: Stir in the oregano, basil, seasoned salt, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the dry onion soup mix and stir for about 30 seconds, allowing the spices to bloom.
- Add liquids: Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Stir everything together, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat. Let the soup simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Add noodles and finish: Add the cooked egg noodles to the soup and stir. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes, just to heat the noodles through.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors!
