Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, carrots, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
Stir in elbow macaroni and frozen corn (if using). Simmer for another 10-12 minutes, until pasta is tender.
