The perfect soup on a chilly day. From the hearty vegetables to perfect spices, this filling soup will warm your soul. It's jam-packed with flavour and delicious aromas.
Heat a skillet on the stove and fry the ground beef, seasoned with salt and pepper, until cooked through. Drain grease and set aside.
Heat oil in a soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Cook celery and onions for a few minutes until onions are transparent. Add garlic and dried herbs and cook another minute. Stir in the potatoes, carrots, diced tomatoes, navy beans, corn, tomato paste, sugar, salt, pepper and beef broth. I like to use my favourite cutting board so I don't get burned! Bring soup to a simmer and allow to cook until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
Add macaroni noodles to the soup and cook another 6-8 minutes, until the noodles are just cooked. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot!
