Instructions

Sauté Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the pot and cook it until browned, using a spoon to break it apart evenly. Once cooked through, drain any excess fat from the pot to avoid greasy soup.
Add Spices: Stir in chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to release the flavors and aromas of the spices.
Add Tomato Soup and Liquids: Pour in the condensed cream of tomato soup, diced tomatoes along with their juice, beef broth, and water. Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Simmer with Pasta: Bring the pot to a boil. Once boiling, add the uncooked pasta. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente—about 10-12 minutes.
Final Seasoning and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm for a comforting meal.

Notes

Drain excess fat after browning the ground beef to keep the soup from being greasy.
Use macaroni or any small pasta shape that cooks evenly and absorbs flavors well.
Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom.
This soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop.
For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of water or simmer uncovered for a few minutes.
