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.

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.
