How to Make American Hamburger Goulash Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 4 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 3 hours, or up to 6 for deeper flavor.
  4. One hour before serving, add 1 cup elbow macaroni or other small pasta.
  5. Thirty minutes before serving, stir in 1/2 cup dry red wine.
  6. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
