How to Make the Marry Me Beef Soup

Brown the Ground Beef

Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once cooked, drain the ground beef and remove it from the pan. Set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the chopped onions, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes with their juices to the same pan. Sauté until the onions begin to soften and the garlic is fragrant.

Deglaze the Pan

Add 2 tablespoons of the beef broth to the pan, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits.

Cook the Pasta

Add the remaining beef broth and bow tie pasta. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the Cream Cheese and Heavy Cream

Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and incorporated. Add the heavy cream and boil for 6 minutes.

Finish the Soup

Lower the heat to a simmer. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy.

Season with garlic-pepper, Italian seasoning, and crushed peppers to taste.

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and stir to combine. Serve warm.

Tina’s Tips

  • If the soup becomes too thick, stir in a little extra beef broth or heavy cream until it reaches your preferred consistency.
  • Stir the soup occasionally while the pasta cooks to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot
