Ingredients

Directions

Cook and stir ground beef in a large pot over medium heat until crumbly and browned, 7 to 10 minutes; drain as much fat from pot as possible. Add onion and garlic to the pot; cook and stir until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onion soup mix, bouillon cubes, and bay leaf until well combined; stir in water and mixed vegetables. Increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil.

Stir in orzo pasta; cook until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Cook’s Note

If you plan on using a slow cooker to prepare in advance or you're not serving right away, you may want to cook orzo separately and add it to the soup right before serving to prevent it from getting too soft.
