Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot with the beef. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir in the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Add the cubed potatoes to the soup. Continue to simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes more.
  6. Stir in the egg noodles and Worcestershire sauce. Cook uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, brown the beef with 1 minced garlic clove.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe works well in a slow cooker; cook on low for 6 to 8 hours after browning the beef and sautéing the vegetables.
