For the soup:
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce or puree
- 1/3 cup tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1-2 cups water, to adjust consistency
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
- Black pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces bowtie pasta (uncooked)
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 oz mozzarella, shredded
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated or shaved
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Set a 4.5-quart soup pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it shimmer.
- Add ground beef, diced onion, and garlic. Sauté until the meat is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Toss in the uncooked bowtie pasta and bring everything to a rolling boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Let it simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring often, until the pasta is al dente and the flavors are well blended.
- Add 1–2 cups of water or more broth to reach your desired thickness.
- Option 1: Stir in ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan just before serving.
- Option 2: Serve the cheeses on the side for each person to mix into their bowl.
- Top with chopped parsley and a crack of black pepper.
Notes
Store cooled soup in airtight containers for up to 5 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with extra broth or water. Customize with gluten-free pasta, plant-based meat, or extra veggies like spinach or squash.
