This week’s Souper Monday recipe is for a simple and inexpensive Ground Beef Tomato Macaroni Soup. It is perfect for fall and winter.
Ground Beef Tomato Macaroni Soup is a basic homemade tomato soup with ground beef and macaroni. It is quick and easy to make using basic pantry ingredients.
My husband’s family has a recipe for tomato macaroni soup that they have been making for years. My husband grew up eating it. His parents and grandparents made it all them time.
My husband and I ate it during our early years of marriage because it was so inexpensive to eat. I always thought of the recipe as a depression era recipe because it was so basic. In fact, it was almost too basic.
My husband would totally disagree with that. He loves it because it is so basic. I, however, have never loved the soup because it felt like it needed something more. It needed more flavor and something to make it more filling.
So over the years, I have come up with different versions of a basic tomato soup. I took my husband’s family recipe and turned it into different versions that are more filling and flavorful.
This soup is my favorite version. It is a fairly classic tomato soup with ground beef and macaroni added.
I love this soup during the fall and winter. It is quick and easy to make, using ingredients I almost always have on hand.
Can it be made gluten free?
Yes, it can. I make it gluten free using gluten free pasta. The version is the picture is made with gluten free pasta.

Scoop in ¼ cup balls onto a cookie sheet. I use an ice cream scoop. Place six on each cookie sheet. You should only place 6 per sheet because these are large cookies and they spread out.
