Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 1 small green bell pepper, seeded, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 small red bell pepper seeded, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 2 cups (16 ounces / 480 g) beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup (236 g) orzo pasta, uncooked
  • Parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • To a large Dutch oven (or heavy-bottomed pot) over medium heat, add olive oil.
  • Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add ground beef, onion, and diced bell peppers. Cook, breaking the meat up as you go, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the ground beef is fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain grease if necessary.
  • Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  • Stir in the orzo pasta. Then, cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and the soup has thickened slightly.
  • Remove the pot from heat.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm.
