Instructions
-1 To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the beef, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until done. Stir and crumble the beef as it cooks. I did not drain the beef but you can if desired; the fat keeps the pasta from sticking and adds flavor to the broth. -1 Add the garlic, stir to combine, and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant. -1 Add the broth, tomatoes, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, optional cayenne (doesn't make the soup spicy but adds flavor), pasta, bring to a boil, and once boiling, cook uncovered for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. -1 Turn the heat off, add the spinach, basil, and stir until wilted. -1 Optionally add the lemon juice (it really brightens up the flavor of the soup and I recommend it), stir to combine, and taste the soup. If necessary, add more salt. Because I use lower/no salt-added products, I added a total of about 3 teaspoons salt but this will vary based on preference and products used; pasta is also bland and benefits from adequate salt. -1 Ladle into bowls and optionally garnish with Parmesan before serving.View original recipe
