Noodle Soup (Tomato Beef) image

My grandmother used to make this with left-over roast beef. We always make it when the weather is cold and wet. It smells wonderful when you come in from the cold.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb beef stew meat, trimmed well
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (see NOTE)
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tablespoon oregano
1/2 tablespoon thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
egg noodles

Steps:

  • Brown the meat in small batches.
  • Add the beef broth, tomatoes, and 1 can of water.
  • Add the spices.
  • Bring to a boil, then let simmer. If you're in a hurry - 30 minutes. If you have time, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. It just tastes better the longer it cooks.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bring back to a boil and noodles (as many as you like in your soup.).
  • *NOTE - you can use almost any tomato - crushed, petit diced, whole. Sometimes I add some tomato paste to thicken it a bit, sometimes some tomato sauce. It just depends on what you like.
  • This also freezes well - the meat becomes VERY tender. I freeze it without the noodles, then cook them in it after it's thawed. I always have at least one container of this in the freezer.
