Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef I used 90% lean
- 3 to 5 cloves finely minced or pressed garlic
- 64 ounces beef broth I used 50% reduced sodium
- two 15-ounce cans petite diced tomatoes do not drain; I used no-salt added
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 + teaspoons kosher salt as needed to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- pinch cayenne pepper optional and to taste
- 12 ounces uncooked bowtie pasta
- 3 to 4 cups fresh spinach leaves torn in half if they are large (about 4 to 6 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil finely minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice optional but recommend
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese optional for garnishing as desired
Instructions
- To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the beef, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until done. Stir and crumble the beef as it cooks. I did not drain the beef but you can if desired; the fat keeps the pasta from sticking and adds flavor to the broth.
- Add the garlic, stir to combine, and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add the broth, tomatoes, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, optional cayenne (doesn't make the soup spicy but adds flavor), pasta, bring to a boil, and once boiling, cook uncovered for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.
- Turn the heat off, add the spinach, basil, and stir until wilted.
- Optionally add the lemon juice (it really brightens up the flavor of the soup and I recommend it), stir to combine, and taste the soup. If necessary, add more salt. Because I use lower/no salt-added products, I added a total of about 3 teaspoons salt but this will vary based on preference and products used; pasta is also bland and benefits from adequate salt.
- Ladle into bowls and optionally garnish with Parmesan before serving.
Notes
- Soup will keep airtight in the fridge for 5 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months.
