In a large pot brown the ground beef, drain, and return to the cooking pot.
Add 5 cups of whatever combination of liquid you've chosen and the soup mix. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
Allow the broth and cooked beef to simmer over medium heat for 30-40 minutes then add the canned tomatoes and vegetables. Cook unitl the vegetables are your desired tenderness.
Add the uncooked pasta (I usually use elbow noodles) and cook al dente.
Ladle into bowls and top with a little grated parmesan cheese.
