Instructions
Cook the Beef and Onions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat in a Dutch oven or large soup pot.
Add lean ground beef and diced onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then cook until the beef is browned and crumbled, and the onions are translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Build the Flavor Base
Stir in tomato paste, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Add Broth and Simmer
Pour in beef broth and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to cook for 5-6 minutes to meld the flavors.
Add Noodles and Vegetables
Add broken spaghetti noodles and frozen mixed vegetables to the pot.
Continue simmering for 8-10 minutes until the pasta is tender. Add more beef broth as needed to reach your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shaved Parmesan if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free spaghetti noodles or substitute with rice noodles for a similar texture. Also, double-check that the Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten.
Low-Carb: Skip the noodles or substitute them with spiralized zucchini or shirataki noodles for a lower-carb option.
Make-Ahead Tip: This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. For the best texture, cook the noodles separately if you plan to store leftovers, as they can become too soft in the broth over time.
Freezing Tips: This soup is freezer-friendly, but for the best results, cook the noodles fresh when reheating. To freeze, simply store the soup base (without the noodles) in a freezer-safe container. Once thawed and reheated, add cooked noodles to finish the dish.
