Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large pot over medium-high heat. Add your ground beef and chopped onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to caramelize it, enhancing the soup's flavor.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes, then add Worcestershire sauce, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for about 5 minutes to develop the flavors.
  5. Stir in macaroni and frozen mixed vegetables, then cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes until the pasta is tender.
  6. Remove the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper as desired, and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
