Hamburger Fennel Soup With Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Add diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, carrots, celery, parsley, bay leaf, salt, chili powder, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 hours.
• Add macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring some water to boil in a covered pot for linguine.
• Slice a little off the bottom of the fennel, and trim the leaves and stems. Remove tough outer layer, and cut the fennel in quarters. Steam over hot water for about 7 minutes, until the fennel is tender.
• Heat a large nonstick pan until it is very hot. Reduce the heat to medium high, and brown the meat, stirring often to keep it from sticking to the pan and to break it up into little pieces.
• Chop the whole onion; push the beef to the side, and add the oil to the pan. Add the onion, and saute until it softens and begins to brown.
• Mince the garlic, and add to to the onion along with the caraway seeds, coriander, hot-pepper flakes, cloves and fennel, and stir well. Stir in the tomato puree with the bay leaf. Simmer over low heat until pasta is cooked.
• Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain, and serve with sauce after seasoning it with pepper.
