      Title: Easy Hamburger Soup
 Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Herbs, Pasta
      Yield: 5 servings
 
  1 1/3 lb Ground beef
      1 c  Diced yellow onion
      2    Ribs celery; diced
      2 lg Carrots; diced
      1 lg Bell pepper; seeded, diced
      3 cl Garlic; minced
 14 1/2 oz Can diced tomatoes
      2 tb Tomato paste
      1 ts Dried oregano
    1/2 ts (ea) salt & black pepper
      2 c  Beef broth
    1/2 c  Red wine; opt
      1 c  Elbow macaroni
 
  In a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat,
  brown the ground beef over medium heat. Break it apart
  with a wooden spoon into large chunks.
  
  When browned, use a slotted spoon to transfer the ground
  beef onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set it
  aside.
  
  Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat from
  the ground beef (or add enough olive oil to make 1
  tablespoon if there's not much fat).
  
  Add the diced onion, celery, carrot and bell pepper and
  cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  
  Stir in the tomato paste and garlic, and cook about 30
  seconds, until fragrant. Add in the oregano, salt, and
  pepper, and stir to combine.
  
  Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, and red wine (if
  using). Lastly, add the cooked ground beef back to the
  pan. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  
  Bring the soup to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat to
  medium-low, cover the pot, and cook for about 20 more
  minutes. If you are adding elbow macaroni, add it
  halfway through simmering, and cook until the pasta is
  tender.
  
  Dole the soup out into individual bowls and serve hot
  from the pot. Leftovers will keep up to 5 days
  refrigerated, or up to 3 months frozen.
  
  Yield: 4 to 6 servings
