How to Make Hamburger Minestrone

  1. Brown the ground beef: In a large Dutch oven or pot, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Drain excess fat: Drain off any excess grease from the pot.
  4. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (undrained), kidney beans (rinsed and drained), carrots, celery, macaroni, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Break up tomatoes: Gently break up the tomatoes in the pot with a fork or spoon.
  6. Simmer until tender: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Stir occasionally.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
