For a richer flavor, brown the ground beef in a tablespoon of olive oil. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as potatoes, green beans, or corn. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried parsley. To make this soup in a slow cooker, brown the ground beef and onion first, then transfer to the slow cooker with the remaining ingredients (except the macaroni). Cook on low for 6-8 hours, then add the macaroni during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese for extra flavor.
