Mom's Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup
Description
This soup features ground beef browned with chopped onion and minced garlic to build a flavorful base. Beef broth combined with water, diced tomatoes, celery, carrots, basil, and beef bouillon cubes create a rich broth. Uncooked pasta and frozen mixed vegetables are added to cook directly in the broth, thickening the soup and providing a variety of textures.
Simmering for 45-60 minutes allows the flavors to meld with the pasta softening to a tender consistency and the vegetables becoming fully cooked but retaining some bite. Adding frozen vegetables near the end of cooking avoids overcooking.
The soup can be served as a main course, providing a warm, filling meal. It is practical for making in larger batches and can be reheated, maintaining its comforting qualities.
A helpful tip is to add extra water or more canned tomatoes if the soup becomes too thick after standing, ensuring the desired consistency is retained when served later.
