Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, oregano, basil, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the elbow macaroni and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked through and the soup has thickened.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
- Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can also substitute other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Colby Jack.
