Preheat a pot over medium heat.

Add ground beef to the pot and season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Cook the beef until it's no longer pink in the middle.

Slice up some carrots and add them to the ground beef; mix together.

Add 1 can of petite tomatoes and 5 to 6 cups of beef broth to the pot.

Add fresh garlic and Worcestershire sauce.

Incorporate 1.5 to 2 cups of frozen mixed veggies (corn, peas, green beans) and mix well.

Put the lid on the pot and bring the soup to a boil.

Add 1 cup of pasta of choice to the boiling soup and mix it in.

Remove the lid and stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Once the pasta is done cooking, turn the heat down to a simmer and let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes to let the flavors come together.
