Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 6 ounces (broken into 2-inch pieces) spaghetti
• 0.25 cup (grated, plus extra for garnish) Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato paste, Italian seasoning, dried basil, and sugar. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the soup cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Add the broken spaghetti pieces to the pot and continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the spaghetti from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste as needed.

Step 8

Remove the pot from heat and ladle the soup into bowls.

Step 9

Top each serving with additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of Spaghetti Lovers Soup!
