Hearty spaghetti soup

Hearty spaghetti soup is a dish that combines Italian tradition with a Latin American homemade touch. Originating in Mexico, this recipe is a robust and comforting version of the classic pasta soup, adapted to local ingredients and tastes. In several Latin American countries, it is also known as "beef noodle broth" or simply "noodle soup," although the preparation and accompaniments may vary slightly depending on the region.

This dish has its roots in Italian cuisine, where spaghetti is a fundamental part of many recipes, but it was in Mexico where it was fused with ingredients such as beef broth, chili, and vegetables that give it a deeper and more complex flavor. Hearty spaghetti soup is enjoyed both on cold days and at family celebrations, offering a light yet nutritious meal.

In countries like Venezuela and Colombia, the dish may include variations in the vegetables or the meat, but always maintaining the essence of a noodle soup with a nutritious and flavorful broth. Thus, this dish represents a culinary bridge between Europe and Latin America, ideal for those seeking a homemade and flavorful meal.

How to Make Hearty Spaghetti Soup

To begin this delicious recipe, in a large cast-iron pot, brown the ground beef together with the onion and garlic clove in olive oil until well cooked.

Once browned, it is important to drain well to remove excess fat.

Next, add the remaining ingredients to the cast-iron pot: frozen green beans, spaghetti, parsley flakes, beef broth, salt, pepper, mushrooms, bay leaf, tomato sauce, and oregano.

Let it simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until the spaghetti is cooked to the desired doneness.

To serve, individual bowls of soup can be garnished with a bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired, which will add a delicious final touch.
