Nothing warms the soul on a cold day quite like hot soup. A favorite in the Rupp household is beef, noodle and vegetable soup. It tastes like it simmered all day, but it only takes about 25 minutes.
Beef, Noodle & Vegetable Soup
Recipe courtesy of Mary Scranton, Ney, Ohio.
- 1 can (28 oz.) R Farm canned beef
- 5 cups of water
- 1 envelope of onion soup mix
- 1 envelope of vegetable soup mix
- ¼ teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon celery salt or ½ cup sliced celery
- 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
- 1 and 1/2 cups of V-8 juice
- 8 oz. package of your choice of noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
Place everything except the V-8 juice and noodles in a covered, 6-quart kettle and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and reduce heat to a simmer until noodles are tender (approximately 20 minutes). Add V-8 juice, stir and serve. This is a thick soup that pairs well with crackers or crusty bread. It can also be served over mashed potatoes. If you prefer a thinner soup, add more beef broth. Makes 6-8 servings.
