Tomato Beef Macaroni Soup

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with light soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. 3

   Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add tomato wedges to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomato ketchup and tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

5. 5

   Pour in the beef broth. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it gently simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

6. 6

   Increase the heat to medium-low. Add the marinated beef slices to the simmering soup, stirring gently to separate them. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the beef is just cooked through (do not overcook).

7. 7

   Season the soup with sugar, salt, and white pepper to taste. Add the drained macaroni to the soup, stir to combine, and heat through for 1 minute.

8. 8

   Ladle the Tomato Beef Macaroni Soup into bowls and serve hot.
