Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups egg noodles: These provide the hearty base of the soup. You can substitute whole wheat noodles or gluten-free options if needed.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil: This oil is used for sautéing vegetables and adds a healthy fat content.
  • 1 onion diced: Onions add natural sweetness and depth to the soup.
  • 1 cup celery sliced: Celery contributes a refreshing crunch and enhances the soup's flavor profile.
  • 1 cup carrots sliced: Carrots bring sweetness and color to the dish.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced: Garlic adds a robust flavor that complements the other ingredients.
  • 1 lb lean ground beef: This is the star protein of the dish providing filling nutrients without unnecessary fats.
  • Spices: Oregano basil, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper enhance the flavor, allowing customization to individual tastes.
  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix: This shortcut ingredient adds a savory punch that is both convenient and tasty.
  • 3 cups beef broth: While beef broth is traditionally used you may opt for chicken broth for a lighter flavor, which pairs perfectly with beef.
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes: Tomatoes add brightness and acidity to balance the flavors.
  • 8 oz tomato sauce: Tomato sauce thickens the soup and enriches its color.
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce: Soy sauce introduces an umami taste enhancing the overall flavor.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for garnish: This cheese adds a creamy finishing touch, elevating each bowl.

Method
 

  1. Cook 2 cups of egg noodles: Following the package instructions, cook the noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: In the same pot, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced celery, and sliced carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until vegetables begin to soften. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and stir for an additional minute.
  3. Brown the beef: Stir in 1 lb of lean ground beef, cooking for approximately 7-8 minutes until browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  4. Add spices and soup mix: Add your chosen spices—oregano, basil, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper—along with 1 envelope of dry onion soup mix. Stir and cook for another 30 seconds to release their flavors.
  5. Combine broth and tomatoes: Pour in 3 cups of beef broth, followed by 28 oz of diced tomatoes, 8 oz of tomato sauce, and 1 tbsp of soy sauce. Stir to combine, and bring to a boil.
  6. Simmer the soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Add the noodles: Finally, add the cooked egg noodles to the pot and heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Stir gently to mix everything well.
  8. Serve hot: Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese for a creamy finish. Enjoy your delightful beef Noodle Soup!
