18 Simple Macaroni Soup Recipes

I don’t think there’s a more comforting or simple soup to make than one with macaroni in it.

These soups are my solution when I need to get dinner on the table without a trip to the store.

The small pasta cooks right in the broth, making everything come together in one pot. Here are 18 simple macaroni soup recipes that are easy, satisfying, and always a hit.
