Do you love soup?  I sure do, and this is probably my family’s favorite!!  A sweet friend of mine shared this recipe with me last year.  I asked her if I could share it with you.  So here it is!  Thanks bunches, Anne!
 
 
  
The only 2 soups that my son likes are this and my potato soup.  I need to share that one with you as well!  Maybe next week.
 
It is very easy and simply cooks on the stove top.
 
 
Ingredients Needed:
 
2-3 medium carrots
1 medium onion
1 TBS. olive or vegetable oil
2 cloves minced garlic (I use kind in jar)
1 lb. of lean ground beef
4 cups beef broth
2 cups water
1 can diced tomatoes, your seasoned preference
1 long squirt of Italian dressing
1 dash of Tabasco (optional)
basil, oregano and pepper to taste
1- 9oz package cheese filled tortellini, refrigerated kind
1-2 medium zucchini
Parmesan cheese for serving
 
 
 
 
Directions:
  1. Cut carrots into 1/4 in. slices and set aside.  I usually have baby carrots and stick carrots on hand.  I just used those.  Coarsely chop onion.
  2. In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Add the onion and stir-fry until just begins to brown.  Add garlic.  Cook 1-2 minutes.
  3. Crumble in lean ground beef and cook until no longer pink.  Drain.
  4. Meanwhile, in stock pot, add broth, water, Italian dressing and diced tomatoes.  Cover and bring to boil.  Add carrots and seasoning including Tabasco, if using.  If you look at the collage picture you will see the amount of basil and oregano that I use.  I use about that much of a capful of each and a hearty pinch of pepper.   Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally. You may need to add additional water.
  5. Carefully add beef mixture to broth.  Let everything cook together.  Taste broth and season as needed.
  6. Halve the zucchini lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4 in. half rounds.
  7. I add the zucchini about 3 minutes before the pasta is ready to keep it a bit firmer.  If you like it mushy, then add at the time of the pasta.  Adjust accordingly to your desired tenderness of the zucchini.
  8. Add tortellini, cook until al dente, 10-12 minutes.
  9. Serve with parmesan cheese on top and with crusty French bread.
Over the past year this has really become a family favorite.  I serve it quite frequently!   I may even make this on occasion this summer and use fresh diced tomatoes from the garden and our zucchini.  I have a family of 4 which includes 2 teens.  We still have enough leftover for a couple of lunch servings.  If you haven’t used the refrigerator pasta before, it really expands as it cooks.  There is no need to up the pasta size for this recipe.  I know the package looks small, but it is perfect!
 
Have a great day!  It is a rainy and cold day…only 36 at noon!  That’s cold for us in SC!  Thanks for stopping by!

I’d love for you to follow Our Southern Home.  The various ways to follow are in the sidebar.

    Christy, I am having such a fun time keeping up with your blog and on IG and now Facebook! When do you sleep?? My IG name is waldenpeg and we’ve had some laughs over Josh Duhamel (oops, drooled on my keyboard lol) Aaaaaaanyways, what a gift you have!! You really do inspire me and I want to thank you for sharing your gifts through your blog. I’m going to make your soup tomorrow for supper–I have all the ingredients except for the tortellini which I can easily pick up. My kids are grown up and out of the house, but I know they would love this soup too. Family favorite are the best. Thanks for posting this recipe.

This has been the most gorgeous week for outdoor l This has been the most gorgeous week for outdoor living minus the pollen of course! I even got to wear my new outfit from @lovechicos for a family dinner on the patio. This outfit will be on repeat all summer! I’m even going to pair this gorgeous silk ruana with a knit dress and shorts romper. 

On a side note, I stopped coloring my hair on 1/21/21. Wow! I had no idea so much Gray was already coming through. It’s the real deal of natural highlights! SWIPE to see outfit details.

Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m a bit loosey goosey about it. I tend to decorate it in a way that will work for a couple of seasons at a time. The easiest way to do this is with pillows! I went a little unexpected color wise for spring because I found these gorgeous pillows @potterybarn and had to use right now! I love a pillow that will do double duty in other rooms as well. These will also work in the family room for a quick change. You can see all the details and more of our bedroom with a rug change by visiting my link in bio to this fun tour with 5 of my blogging friends.

After so many days of clouds and rain, the sun is glorious! Look at that blue sky!

That quote totally sums up spring in the south! I laughed so hard when I read it.

I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my ki I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my kids years ago. I’ve never had a class, but you can learn a lot from books and Youtube these days. This is the first one I’ve made in probably 8 years. These little smaller mini cake pans are so fun to make a taller cake. I’ve got all the details on this semi-homemade cake that starts with a box on the blog today along with a few recipes from my friends. Each month we come together to share a simple recipe. 

It’s not perfect, but made with love. 💕 It was a big hit for @ashlyn_little ‘s birthday on Jan 30th. I can’t wait to make another one! You’ll find a link in stories today or visit my link in bio @oursouthernhome to visit the blog.
