Introduction
My 18mo old daughter LOVES this, and its good for her. Very versatile & it keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days. Typically, I use dried oregano, chopped, fresh garlic and I grind my cumin seeds. Paprika, just a sprinkle. Salt & pepper to taste. You can substitute beef stock/broth for water for a deeper flavor, substitute turkey for beef to make it leaner, add veggies like: frozen peas, chopped zucchini, chopped fresh spinach; I add whatever I have, this is just a basic recipe. Kind of like Minestrone, but with beef. My 18mo old daughter LOVES this, and its good for her. Very versatile & it keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days.

Ingredients
-
6 oz lean ground beef
1 cup dried macaroni noodles
1 can dark red kidney beans, with liquid.
1 can pinto beans, with liquid.
1 can low-sodium tomato sauce
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3 fresh garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 Tblsp cumin seeds, freshly ground
1 Tblsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
4 cups water or beef broth (can use more or less depending on how thick you want it)
Directions
In a stockpot, over med-high heat, add canola oil. Add ground beef, onions and garlic and cook until brown.
Add macaroni, beans with liquid and tomatoes and stir well. Season with salt and pepper. Add cumin, oregano, paprika, tomato sauce and water or broth.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat - taste and adjust seasoning - cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, uncover and let stand for 10 minutes (It will thicken as it sits). Enjoy!!
I use as many organic and low-sodium foods as I can when I cook for my daughter: organic canned beans, veggies, broth, etc.
If it's a little bland, play with your spices, I just make it like this because Abby is only 18 months. I drain the liquid and she has a great assortment of finger foods that she loves. And it's a filling, healthy soup for me too!!
