Pasta Sauce Spaghetti Soup (Crock Pot or Stove Top)
5.0(5)
I made this soup recently it's delicious! You can make this in a crock pot but you will have to brown the meat with veggies firstly in a skillet. Double the recipe if desired. The ground beef can be made ahead of time, if you have freezer-ready ground beef, even easier! Feel free to adjust ALL ingredients to suit taste. You can really use any kind of pasta that you like for this, I prefer spaghetti, for a thicker soup decrease the water.
01In a large saucepan, or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef, onion, green pepper, celery, carrot and garlic over medium heat until veggies are tender and meat is no longer pink; drain fat.
02Add in water, undrained tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, sugar and seasonings; bring the mixture to a boil.
03Reduce heat and simmer covered for about 45 minutes (can simmer less time or longer if desired).
04Add in the the Parmesan cheese the last 20 minutes of cooking.
05Add in the cooked pasta before serving and heat through.
06Ladle into serving bowls and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese if desired).
