• 1 (15-ounce) can Diced Tomatoes (do not drain)
• 1 (15-ounce) can Tomato Sauce
• 3 oz Tomato Paste (¼ cup)
• 4 cups Chicken Broth
• 1-2 cups Water (optional, to adjust consistency)

• 8 oz Bowtie Pasta (uncooked)

Toppings

• ½ cup Ricotta Cheese
• 2 oz Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated or shaved
• ¼ cup Fresh Parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onions, and garlic. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes until pasta is cooked.
3. Adjust the consistency by adding water or broth if needed.
4. Serve with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh parsley on top. Enjoy!

Notes

• Use sturdy pasta like bowtie, penne, or rigatoni to avoid soggy noodles.
• Substitute ground beef with turkey or Italian sausage for variety.
• This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 5 days or can be frozen for up to 90 days.
• When reheating, add extra broth as the pasta absorbs liquid over time.
