Quick and Hearty One-Pot Macaroni Cheeseburger Soup – Comfort in a Bowl (Page 2 ) | April 30, 2025

Directions:
Brown the beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Add onions and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Add tomato paste and seasonings: Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined.
Add broth and tomatoes: Pour in the beef broth and undrained diced tomatoes, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Cook the macaroni: Add the uncooked macaroni to the pot and cook, uncovered, for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender.
Finish with cheese and milk: Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and milk until the soup is creamy and the cheese has melted.
Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

FAQs:
Can I use a different type of pasta?
Yes! Small pasta like shells or ditalini work well as substitutes for macaroni.
Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?
Definitely. Ground turkey is a lighter alternative that works just as well in this soup.
What cheese works best for this recipe?
Sharp cheddar melts beautifully and provides a classic cheeseburger taste. You can also try Monterey Jack or American cheese for a milder flavor.
Can I make this soup in advance?
Yes, but the pasta may soak up some liquid as it sits. Add a bit more broth when reheating to reach your desired consistency.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding more broth if needed.
