Recipe Notes
If adding fresh vegetables add before the pasta so they have time to soften.
If you are not going to be eating this all at one sitting, cook the pasta separately and add it to each bowl. If the macaroni is left in the soup overnight, it will soak up the broth and become mushy.
Change the flavor of this soup with seasonings and toppings. Try taco seasoning, with avocados, sliced jalapenos, and a dollop of sour cream on top for a taco soup.
For a meatless option, swap out the ground beef for black beans, pinto beans, or black eyed peas.
For best results when freezing, leave the pasta out and add when reheating.
