Homemade Alphabet Soup

Ingredients

Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the ground beef. Cook for 6-7 minutes until browned.

Next, add the onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stir often. Then, add the garlic, tomato paste, oregano, and pepper. Cook for 1-2  minutes.

Add the tomatoes and broth. Stir well, raise heat, and bring the broth to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the alphabet pasta and mixed vegetables. Raise the heat, bring to a boil. Then, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Stir the soup occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking on the bottom of the pot, especially when it is first added.

Taste and add salt if needed. Serve and enjoy!
