- Brown the Ground Meat: In a large pot, over medium heat, add the ground beef (or turkey). Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add Onion and Tomatoes: Stir in the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and mix well.
- Pour in Broth: Add the beef broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add Elbow Macaroni: Once boiling, stir in the elbow macaroni and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook according to the package instructions until the macaroni is tender, usually about 7-8 minutes.
- Stir in Cheese and Milk: Once the macaroni is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and milk. Mix until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy warm. Garnish with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired!
