  • 3 carrots, shredded
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 32 ounces beef broth

  • 1 can seasoned diced tomatoes

Directions
  1. Heat a large stock pot over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and ground beef. Add 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cook 4-5 minutes, stirring often until no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. In the same pan add another tbsp olive oil and onions, celery, and carrots, cook 2 minutes, then add garlic, cook another 2-3 minutes until veggies are soft.
  3. Add beef broth, tomatoes, and seasonings (2 tsp salt), turn heat on high and bring to a boil.
  4. Once boiling add the pasta, reduce heat while maintaining a light boil, and cook about 4 minutes.
  5. Add the beans and fresh parsley, cook another 4-5 minutes watching that the pasta does not overcook.
  6. Once pasta is cooked, serve the soup and top with fresh Parmesan cheese.
