Directions
-
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. This step not only sets the foundation of flavor but also creates a tremendous aroma that fills your kitchen.
-
Add the ground beef and cook until browned. If there’s excess fat, drain it away to keep the soup hearty without being greasy. This enhances the overall flavor profile tremendously.
-
Stir in the chili seasoning, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Bring this rich mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Add the uncooked elbow macaroni and kidney beans. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the macaroni is tender. The boiling pasta adds a wonderful texture while soaking up all those tremendous flavors.
-
Stir in grated cheddar cheese until melted. This creamy addition will elevate your soup, making every spoonful a delight. Season with salt and pepper to taste to bring out the richness.
