Savory Autumn Harvest Soup: A Delicious Seasonal Delight

Ingredients

• 1 lb of ground beef
• 2 red bell peppers, diced after removing seeds
• Chopped green onions from a whole bunch
• Minced garlic cloves
• Approximately 6 cups of water, adjust as necessary
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes (15 oz each), not drained
• 1 can of tomato paste (6 oz)
• Season with 2 tsp of Italian seasoning, or to your liking
• Season with salt and pepper as per taste preference
• 2 cups of farfalle pasta, known as bow tie pasta
• 3/4 cup of frozen corn kernels
• 3/4 cup of frozen peas
• 1 can of sliced mushrooms (4.5 oz), drained

Step 1

Begin by heating a Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Saute the beef along with red bell peppers, green onions, and garlic in the Dutch oven until it turns a beautiful brown and crumbly texture, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Remember to drain off any excess grease.

Step 2

Next, it's time to add some depth of flavors. Pour in water, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, letting the aromas meld together beautifully.

Step 3

Now, introduce the farfalle pasta into the savory tomato-beef mix and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. As the pasta softens, add in the corn, peas, and mushrooms. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is perfectly cooked yet retains a delightful firmness, for about 5 more minutes. Enjoy this hearty and flavorsome dish!
