Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (or turkey)
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion (Diced)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour (Cornstarch is a gluten-free alternative)
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth (Vegetable broth is a vegetarian swap)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (Half and half or whole milk can be used)
  • Salt (To taste)
  • Pepper (To taste)
  • Onion Powder (To taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup Matchstick Carrots (Fresh or frozen)
  • 1 1/2 cups Uncooked Macaroni Noodles (Any small pasta shape can be used)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Consider mixing different cheese varieties)
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese (Pecorino Romano is a flavorful substitute)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they are fragrant and translucent.
  2. Add ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with your wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the meat mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for about 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  5. Once combined, add heavy cream into the pot along with salt, pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Mix well.
  6. Add matchstick carrots followed by uncooked macaroni noodles. Stir everything together ensuring pasta is submerged in liquid.
  7. Bring soup to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  8. Once pasta is tender, stir in shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted into the creamy soup.
