Mutti's Beef Noodle Soup

➤ by Oma Gerhild Fulson

Beef noodle (or pasta) soup is an all-time favorite among kids and adults alike, made just like Oma!

Beef noodle soup, aka Rinder-Nudelsuppe, either made with egg noodles or small pasta shapes, is such an easy and hearty soup to make. Kids love it! Adults love it! You'll love it!

Great recipes like this get handed down from generation to generation. This rich beef broth with egg noodles was one of my Mutti's best soups that she learned from her Mutti.

And, NOW, I'm handing it down to you!

Do check out the many variations given in the "a bit of this and a bit of that" below this soup recipe.

You'll find that you'll be able to add so many different ingredients to this soup ... it's my favorite way to clean out the crisper.

Grab your copy of my own German Soup e-Cookbook in English. You'll LOVE it! 

Sharing these soup recipes from my Mutti and Oma to my own young grandchildren ... that's such a delicious way to pass on our German heritage :)

A bit of this and a bit of that ...

  • Want a different soup? Add a can of diced tomatoes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  • As with most recipes using beef in soups, you can use almost any cut of beef, especially if it has bones and a good marbling of fat. I like to use bottom blade, but if something else is on sale, I'll use that.
  • Looking for recipes with noodles, or pasta, or macaroni? This one can use any of those.
  • Have some tired-looking veggies in the crisper? Cauliflower? Mushrooms? Spinach? Lettuce? Radishes? Yes, they all work. 

Oma Says:

I love to add other veggies to the soup as well.

In the pictured soup, I've added some chopped cauliflower. Sliced mushrooms would be nice as well. At other times, I've even added a package of frozen chopped spinach. A can of kale would be great as well :-)

The broth is so rich tasting. Little did I know it was so easy to make this German soup using boiled beef. My boys loved it when I added alphabet pasta (macaroni) or other shaped pastas. New shape, new soup!
