Hamburger Noodle Soup: A Hearty and Comforting Meal

In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pot, add a little olive oil if necessary. Sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Add the carrots and celery to the pot, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the Liquids:
Return the ground beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and water, and stir to combine.
Add the diced tomatoes, basil, and oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
4. Cook the Noodles:
Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to the package directions, usually about 7-8 minutes, until al dente.
Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.
5. Serve:
Once the noodles are cooked, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
