This slow cooker soup with hamburger and macaroni is fairly quick and easy — I just threw it together. The soup will thicken as it stands. This recipe freezes well.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 4 ½ cups water

  • 16 (fluid ounces) beef broth

  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel sweet corn (such as Green Giant Niblets), undrained

  • 1 cup frozen lima beans

  • ¾ cup barley

  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1 cube beef bouillon

  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

  2. Place beef into a slow cooker. Add water, broth, tomatoes, undrained corn, lima beans, barley, celery, onion, bouillon, paprika, Italian seasoning, and bay leaf. Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours.

  3. When 15 minutes remain on the timer, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

  4. Add cooked macaroni to the soup. Stir until combined and heated through. Serve immediately garnished with parsley.
