Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
2 celery stalks, diced (about 1 cup)
6 cups beef broth
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz, with juices)
2 cups egg noodles (200 g)

Seasonings & Oils

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil

Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the base: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Cook the beef: Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary to avoid greasiness.
Sauté vegetables: Incorporate the diced carrots and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften, enhancing the soup’s flavor.
Add broth and tomatoes: Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Season soup: Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil to blend flavors.
Simmer with noodles: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the egg noodles. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
Final adjustments and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the soup hot in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh burst of color and flavor.

Notes

If preferred, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
For gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles or rice instead of egg noodles.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as green beans or peas for variety.
To reduce sodium content, use low-sodium beef broth and adjust added salt accordingly.
