Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup

Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup

My daughter LOVES soup so I bought her a thermos for her lunch bag so she could take soup to school for lunch. She was hoping I would make some this week so I decided to make a vegetable beef noodle soup. It’s very similar to beef stew (her VERY favorite meal) but instead of adding potatoes, I add spaghetti noodles as well as fresh green beans. The soup was delicious and paired nicely with my House Salad and fresh bread. My daughter was very happy to eat the leftovers in her brand-new thermos the next day at school. I served this meal

  1. Nice! I recommend browning the beef first, to get that nice carmelized flavour. And you can brown the veggies too. Try it and see if you like the added flavour!
    Cheers

  2. If you decide to use the crock pot. can you please provide the timing guidelines …when do I add the ingredients, especially the spaghetti? Thank you.

    1. Ann,

      I would pretty much cook it the same way. Crockpot on low for 5-6 hours. I would then turn the crockpot up to high and add the carrots, green beans, and celery. Cook them for 40-45 minutes or until tender. Next add the noodles and cook until the noodles are al dente, about 10-15 minutes. I hope this helps.

  3. If I got off to a late start ….can I cook it on high to shorten the cooking time required? I am using the crock pot. It’s 2 pm! Thank you.

  4. I dont want to put my soup in the oven i rather keep it cooking on the stove top. Do I keep it cooking for those 3-4 hours or would the cook time be shorter or longer?

    1. Kyra,

      You most certainly can cook it on the stove top. I would simmer the soup for the same amount of time.

      Cheers,
      Pam
