Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 32 ounces beef broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 10.75-ounce cans condensed cream of tomato soup
  • 2 cups uncooked pasta
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained

Method
 

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped green bell pepper, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté until the onion mixture begins to soften, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground beef, crumbling it with a wooden spoon, and cook until there is no longer any pink. Drain off excess fat.
  4. Stir in 2 teaspoons of chili powder, 2 teaspoons of oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add 2 (10.75-ounce) cans of condensed cream of tomato soup, 1 (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes with their juice, 32 ounces of beef broth, and 4 cups of water.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add 2 cups of pasta. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the pasta is just al dente.
  7. Adjust seasoning and serve.

Notes

If you're a fan of chili mac, consider adding a teaspoon or two of cumin to give this soup a Mexican flair. Top it off with a sprinkle of shredded Mexican cheese blend and some chopped cilantro before serving.
While homemade stock is optimal, convenient store-bought options with a homemade flavor are readily available. Look for low-sodium versions if you're mindful of salt intake.
In a time crunch, you can substitute Better than Bouillon for beef broth. Simply mix 1 ½ tablespoons into 32 oz. of water, and you can even do this directly in the pot instead of dissolving the bouillon in water first.
