Drain off any fat/liquid from your meat, and add to your pot

Add in noodles, and cook 8-10 minutes until noodles are tender.

Notes
Depending on how juicy your tomatoes are you may want to add more water. I had very ripe tomatoes, which made for a lot of liquid, so I only added about a cup of water to get the consistency I wanted for my soup. You may find you want yours thinner!
