Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 large carrots, diced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.75 cups orzo pasta
• 2 cups baby spinach (optional)
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir to combine.

Step 6

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Add the orzo pasta to the boiling soup. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the orzo is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

If using baby spinach, stir it into the soup during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking until wilted.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot in bowls, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
