  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups beef broth

  2. Add diced onion and garlic, and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour in beef broth and milk, then bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in uncooked macaroni, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
  6. If using cheddar cheese soup, stir it in once the pasta is nearly done.
  7. Turn off the heat, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted, then mix in sour cream.
