Instructions
Sauté beef in olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat--about 15-30 minutes.
Add carrots, leeks, celery, onions, and bell pepper.
Stir to combine.
Add beef broth.
Cover with lid and bring to a simmer.
Cook over low to medium heat about 10-15 minutes.
If beef does not test very tender, cover with lid and cook an additional 15 minutes.
Add peas, corn, green beans and noodles.
Stir in parsley, thyme, marjoram, salt and pepper.
Stir to combine.
Cover with lid.
Simmer mixture about 20-30 minutes or until veggies and noodles are tender.
If noodles absorb too much liquid, add hot water as needed, to bring to proper consistency.
Check seasonings.
Add additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Stir to combine.
Notes
NOTE: Because these Amish noodles absorb so much liquid, I added hot water to thin the soup appropriately.NOTE: I highly recommend not omitting the leeks or the marjoram in the recipe. Both provide needed savory flavors to increase the flavor of the soup.NOTE: If you don’t want as many noodles, you can cut down to 8-oz. In that case, you won’t need but one quart of hot water.NOTE: I purchase Esssenhaus Amish Noodles at a local Walmart. They are also available on Amazon and directly from the company.
