Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
3 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
3 (14 ounce) cans water
6 medium carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces
6 ribs celery with leaves, chopped
6 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

Steps:

Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
Add diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, carrots, celery, parsley, bay leaf, salt, chili powder, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 hours.
Add macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
