Vegetable Pasta Soup

I take this bad boy around when I take meals in to people in the wintertime. It is so tasty and it makes your whole house smell so good! Thanks to my sis-in-law Angela for sharing this one with me.

1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
6 cups water
2 14.5 oz cans petite diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 cup each: chopped celery, carrot, potato
2 beef bullion cubes
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp worcestershire
1 T parsley flakes
1 cup small uncooked pasta shells

**Brown beef and onion together. In a large pot add water, veggies and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 20 minutes or until veggies are crisp tender. Add macaroni- simmer for 15 minutes or until macaroni tender.

Snap!! So good!

I'm slightly confused. It says vegetable soup but the first ingredient is ground beef. Where/when do you add this or is it optional? Gracias.

My bad. Scratch that title. Hamburger Pasta soup. Yep- I would say it needs the ground beef most definitely.

oh, and add it when you add the water, veggies and seasonings, after you have browned it of course.
