I wanted a soup that all my family would eat. After reviewing many recipes online I came up with this flavorful soup.

Ingredients:

1 -2 lb stewing beef, bite size

3/4 cup flour

salt & pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can petite tomatoes

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 (10 1/2 ounce) can beef broth (i used campbell's condensed, undiluted)

1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depends on how spicy you want it)

2 cups yolk-free egg noodles

2 -3 cups water

1/2 medium onion, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 small green pepper, bite size pieces (a must for the right flavor in this soup)

2 carrots, bite size pieces

1 parsnip, bite size pieces

1 turnip, bite size pieces

Directions:

1. Coat the beef in flour, salt, & pepper. Heat the oil in a large pot. Brown the beef in the oil.
2. Dump the petite tomatoes, tomato sauce, & beef broth into the pot with the beef. Add the parsley, Worcetershire sauce & all the spices into the sauce. Simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes.
3. Add the vegetables to the sauce & simmer the soup on low heat for 30-40 minutes.
4. Before the vegetables are completely done add the noodles into the pan & water (enough to cover the noodles). Cook for additional 10 minutes or until the noodles are fully cooked.
5. Serve with warm bread & butter. Yum!
