Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or whole milk for a lighter option)
  • 1 ½ cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, bacon bits, or extra cheese

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Beef:
    • In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Add the diced onion and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain excess fat if necessary.

    • Pour in the beef broth and can of diced tomatoes (including the juice). Stir to combine, then bring to a gentle boil.
  2. Add Macaroni and Simmer:
    • Add the uncooked macaroni to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer until the macaroni is tender (about 8–10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  3. Add Cream and Cheese:
    • Once the pasta is cooked, pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Gradually add the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.

  1. Season and Serve:
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls, and top with optional toppings like green onions, bacon bits, or extra cheese.
  2. Enjoy!
    • Serve hot with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

This soup is best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy the delicious, cheesy goodness!
