Method
 

Instructions
  1. Brown the ground beef in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, oregano, basil, and black pepper.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Add the elbow macaroni and continue to simmer for another 10-12 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked through and the soup has thickened slightly.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can also substitute other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Colby Jack.
