This recipe combines the savory, familiar taste of a hamburger with the warmth of a hearty noodle soup. It is an easy, one-pot meal perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups beef broth (low sodium)
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon ketchup or tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces egg noodles or small pasta shapes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot with the beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, dried mustard powder, ketchup or tomato paste, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to let the flavors combine. This creates a rich homemade ground beef broth base.
  5. Increase the heat to medium and add the egg noodles to the simmering soup. Cook according to the package directions, usually 6 to 8 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Ladle the hamburger noodle soup into bowls. If desired, top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor reminiscent of a classic burger, add 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard directly into the broth during the simmering stage.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe works well as a quick weeknight noodle soup because it cooks mostly in one pot.
