Made this for the whole family and they loved it. I used the small ball shaped pasta instead of the shell pasta called for and before I put everything into the soup pot I softened about two onions in some butter. Will absolutely make again. -
I made this recipe with only 1 lb of ground beef. My husband raved - easy and delish! A wonderful warming soup for after hockey. It will become a regular in my house! Thanks for a great recipe!! -
