A hearty and flavorful soup combining beef, tomatoes, and pasta for a comforting meal.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Ensure the beef is broken into small pieces for even cooking.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and tomato paste, cooking for an additional minute to release the flavors.
Cooking the spices enhances their aroma and depth.
Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes and bell pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate all the flavors.
Add the macaroni to the pot, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the pasta is tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or shredded cheese if desired.
Serve with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
