# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 450 grams lean ground beef
02 - 1.5 teaspoons garlic salt
03 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
04 - 2 bay leaves
05 - 1.6 litres low sodium beef broth
06 - 800 grams diced tomatoes, undrained
07 - 170 grams tomato paste
08 - 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
09 - 340 grams frozen mixed vegetables
10 - 200 grams macaroni noodles

→ To Serve

11 - Chopped fresh parsley
12 - Shredded Parmesan cheese

# Steps:

01 - In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the lean ground beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once browned, drain excess fat.
02 - Sprinkle the beef with garlic salt, dried basil, and add bay leaves. Stir well to combine and release the flavours.
03 - Add beef broth, diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, soy sauce, and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir thoroughly and bring the mixture just to a boil.
04 - Stir in macaroni noodles. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until noodles are al dente.
05 - Discard bay leaves. Ladle into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley and shredded Parmesan as desired, and serve hot.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For leftovers, let cool completely before refrigerating. The noodles will absorb more broth during storage; add additional broth or water when reheating to adjust consistency.
02 - To freeze, allow soup to cool fully, then transfer to an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
