Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup baby carrots or 1 large carrot thinly sliced
- 2 ribs celery thinly sliced
- 1 small onion or large shallot chopped
- homemade seasoned salt and pepper see notes
- 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
- 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 15 oz can beef broth plus more for reheating
- 15 oz can light red kidney beans undrained
- 15 oz can great northern beans undrained
- 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2x2" parmesan rind
- 8 oz gluten-free elbow pasta or other short-grain pasta
- freshly grated parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat then add the ground beef, season with seasoned salt and pepper, and brown. Drain any excess grease then return the beef to the pot.
- To the pot add the carrots, celery, and onion or shallot, season with more seasoned salt and pepper, then saute for 9 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic then continue to saute for 1 more minute.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pot except the pasta then turn the heat up to high to bring the liquid to a simmer. Once simmering, turn the heat down to medium-low / low then simmer uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until the soup has thickened, stirring occasionally.
- When the soup has 15 minutes left to simmer, cook the pasta in a separate pot then drain and scoop into bowls. Remove the parmesan cheese rind from the soup pot then ladle over the pasta and serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Use 2 cups freezer mirepoix instead of individually chopping the carrots, celery, and onion.
- Slightly adapted from Todd Wilbur.
