Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup macaroni You can use regular or gluten-free pasta.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For additional creaminess, you can add more cheese.
  • 2 cups beef broth Substitute with vegetable broth for a vegan version.
  • 1 can diced tomatoes Use tomatoes with juices.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped Chop finely for quicker cooking.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Carefully drain any excess fat from the pot to keep the soup from being greasy.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), and macaroni. Bring everything to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender and cooked through.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Serve warm with your favorite bread for dipping!

Notes

Make sure the macaroni is just al dente to prevent it from getting mushy in the soup. For added flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce. If you prefer a thicker soup, add a cornstarch slurry.
