I honestly can’t believe that I’m posting another soup recipe! Not because it isn’t good… sadly…it isn’t! It’s GREAT! (Which is so much better than good! Right?)

Truth is… I’ve just never been much of a soup “fan”. I’m not really sure why? What ever the reason, I seem to have found my soup mojo! Hallelujah!

So, since I’ve found my “mojo”… I decided, last week, to try my hand at an Italian soup. I didn’t exactly want a minestrone…nothing against minestrone soup…I just wanted something more beefy!

So I started cooking, throwing things in here and there, and this was the result! Yes! It is as great as it looks. This is a soup the whole flock at your nest will love. It’s hearty and filling.

How To Make Italian Beefy Noodle Soup

In a large pot, over medium heat, add 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil. Sauté garlic and fresh chopped onion for about 3–4 minutes. Add ground beef. Brown one pound of ground beef with diced onion and garlic till crumbly.

Drain off excess fat, and add one can of beef broth. Add in 2 cups of fresh sliced mushrooms. (optional) By now you should know I may say “optional”…but what I’m really saying is “Don’t SKIP the mushrooms!” They’re divine in this recipe!

Ground beef browned in a large stock pot

Next add 2 cans diced, petite cut, tomatoes with juice. 1 small can of tomato sauce. 2 cups water.

Add in 1 tsp crushed dried rosemary, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste, 1 tsp. coarse black pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 Tablespoon dried parsley, and a partridge in a pear tree. (Okay… do NOT add a partridge in a pear tree! I was just testing to see if you’re paying attention or if I lost you in all those yummy spices!)

Stir till well mixed.

Add in 1/2 cup of Merlot or red cooking wine. Allow to simmer on low for 30 minutes. You don’t have to add the Merlot…but, the flavor it adds to this soup is out of this world AMAZING!!!

I’m of the humble opinion that all wines and alcoholic beverages were made specifically for cooking. Seriously the chemical reactions with meats and sauces can not be replicated any other way.

While that is simmering cook your rotini pasta al dente per instruction on the box. Rinse and drain.

Delicious broth for Italian Beefy Noodle Soup

Add in 3/4 cup grated Kraft Parmesan Cheese. Yep… that one in the green shaker! Stir and allow to simmer for another 15 minutes.

Adding Grated Parmesan Cheese for Italian Beefy Noodle Soup

Add in 3 Tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. (You can omit this step if you don’t have heavy whipping cream. I just love the richer color and flavor it added)

Chop 3 Tablespoons of fresh basil. Add 2 Tablespoons into the soup base. Reserve the remaining for garnish on top of soup when served.

Add in your drained rotini pasta and stir. If it doesn’t have enough broth for your liking, add additional beef broth or water. The noodles will absorb a lot of the fluids quickly. So serve immediately.

Ladle into large bowls. Top with grated mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese.

Noodles and cheese added to soup and ready to eat

I served this amazing soup with garlic Parmesan rolls and a big green salad. It is so delicious and tastes as fantastic as it looks. Such a wonderful meal!

This Beefy Italian Pasta soup comes together quickly and is super easy to make. Most of the ingredients can be found in your pantry. If you’re like me that is always a huge plus! It’s a nice change from heavier Italian dishes, yet full of the same wonderful flavors.

All you need now is a great big spoon! Mangia! (That’s all the Italian I got folks! But it’s the only one that counts!)
