Great recipe for a chilly day. I didn't add any bullion and just salted the soup to taste instead. My children loved this.

Very good! It needed a bit of work on the taste, however. A bay leaf improved the flavor. Also added about 1/4 tsp each dried marjoram and thyme and two cloves of finely minced garlic, which I sauteed toward the end of frying the onion, carrot and celery. Replaced the water with beef stock, thereby eliminating the need for bouillon cubes, which add too much salt and too-fake a taste. These changes represented big improvements to this basic recipe. Great comfort food!

This is a great no-fuss recipe for any week night. This is not gourmet, so don't be disappointed by its simplicity. However, the flavors mix nicely and it fills your tummy. Which, as a mother of 3, I need on practice nights. I was able to substitute dry egg noodles without an issue. I just didn't cook long after I added them.

I thought this was very good. It tasted a lot like a French Dip. I used leftover steak instead of stew meat. I boiled the noodles in a seperate pan, then added them at the end. Definetly will make again!

Wonderful! I used the beef broth instead of boullion, as suggested by others. For the beef, I used left over beef roast from the previous night's dinner. Easy meal - and great with a salad & french bread.

I doubled this recipe and slow cooked it in my shiny new 7 quart slow cooker. I used Herb Ox sodium and MSG free bouillon, and then salted to taste with sea salt. This is the perfect method for those who complain about too little or too much taste. Soups can be very subjective so start with a base recipe and season to taste. I threw in two cans of drained peas, cooked the egg noodles separate and added them to the slow cooker the last hour. Very yummy, hit the spot with outside temps near 0° and a snow storm.

Awesome! My husband said Awesome at least three times and he wasn,t sucking up or anything. My kids scarfed it up. Just a lovely, filling, hearty soup Added more water at the end and a packet of brown gravy mix to replace what had boil away and what the noodles soaked up but everything else the same. Delicious and thanks for the new winter fav in our house!

WOW! This was awesome. i only gave it 4 stars bc i made some changes that i think threw it over the top. I sauteed onion and fresh garlic first (i omitted celery). i tossed stew meat in a flour/ground pepper/onion powder mixture. i fried meat in same pan on high until crisp covering formed. I added everything (including raw carrots) in the crockpot and cooked all day. I made homemade egg noodles (recipe from this site). the family loved it! Thanks!

This is really good, but 1/4 cup beef bouillon granules makes it way too salty.

We really liked this! Of course it's not a gourmet meal, but for a busy weeknight it's a great, flavorful lifesaver. Added a salad and some biscuits with honey, everyone scarfed it up! Used Knorr beef bouillon cubes, which added great flavor. Beef was tender, carrots were tender. It was delicious. Thanks for sharing!

I made this for supper last night and the end result was ok. I changed the recipe quite a bit though, so here is what I did: I browned my stewing beef in some canola oil and once it was browned off, I put it in the slow cooker. I sauteed my veggies in the same pan and then put them in the slow cooker as well. I added 4 cups of beef broth, a package of onion soup mix and 3 cups of water. I cooked this on high for 5 hours and then low for 1.5 hours and added the cooked egg noodles about a half hour before serving. We felt as though this soup was ok, but was missing something, I just don't know what.

I made this one awhile ago and never got around to reviewing it. I did think it was really good. Whenever I make stew, or use stew meat in soup I normally dredge the meat in flour first, then brown it. That usually helps the meat stay tender. Thanks for sharing!

I added some cubed potato & barley and used beef broth in addition to the water/bouillon cubes for more flavor. Anyway- I still thought this just enhhh... it was ok that night but I couldn't eat it for left overs at all, which normally I don't have any problem doing. I probably won't make this again. I think there are better beef soups out there for us personally.
