Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can substitute with butter
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Ground turkey or chicken can be used
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, diced Shallots can also be used
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Fresh preferred
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Cornstarch is a gluten-free alternative
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Vegetable broth is a vegetarian swap
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Half and half or whole milk can be used
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adjust to taste
  • 1 cup Matchstick Carrots Fresh or frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups Uncooked Macaroni Noodles Any small pasta shape can be used
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Consider mixing different cheese varieties
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese Pecorino Romano is a flavorful substitute

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Cooking

  • Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  • Once the beef is cooked, sprinkle in the flour and stir well for about 1 minute.
  • Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
  • Add the heavy cream, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Stir until combined.
  • Add the matchstick carrots and uncooked macaroni noodles. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked.

Serving

  • Once the macaroni is tender, stir in the shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Enjoy hot!

Notes

Serve the soup hot in bowls. You can top it with extra shredded cheese, croutons, or fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor. It pairs well with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal. To store leftovers, let it cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.
