3 teaspoons olive oil
2 lbs lean ground chuck
4 carrots, shredded

5 celery ribs, diced (I also add in some of the chopped celery leaves)
2 (24 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (I put one can in the processor and puree)
2 cups red kidney beans
2 cups white kidney beans (or great Northern beans)

1 (12 ounce) can beef consomme
3 -4 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil

1 ½ teaspoons Tabasco sauce
48 ounces spaghetti sauce (I use Prego)
8 ounces macaroni
grated parmesan cheese

1
Saute beef in oil in a large pot until brown.
2
If there is excess fat, drain beef and return to pot.
3
Add carrots, onion, celery and tomatoes and simmer 10 minutes.
4
Drain and rinse beans.
5
Add to pot along with stock, consume, oregano, basil, parsley, pepper, Tabasco, and spaghetti sauce.

Simmer until vegetables are tender -- about 45 minutes.
7
Cook macaroni separately.
8
Place desired amount in a soup bowl and ladle soup over it.
9
Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
10
This makes a lot of soup, but it freezes well.
11
When freezing the soup, do not add the macaroni as it tends to swell and get soggy.

Note: The beef stock I use comes in boxes and it is more like 94 oz.
13
total, so I just use it all.
