Oma's German Pork Noodle Soup (Nudelsuppe mit Schweinefleisch)

Pork noodle soup, either made with thin egg noodles or small pasta shapes, is such an easy and hearty soup to make. Here it makes a HUGE potful!

Ingredients:

• 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms) boneless pork chops
• oil, for browning
• 2 onions, chopped
• 6-8 cups (1.4-1.9 liters) water, divided
• 4 - 6 carrots
• 4 - 6 celery ribs
• 1 small head cauliflower
• 1 bunch broccoli
• 1 red pepper
• 2 cups (76 grams) egg noodles
• salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• MAGGI liquid seasoning, to taste
• VEGETA food seasoning, to taste
• Montreal steak spice, to taste (optional)
• chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

Instructions:

1. Cut pork into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a large soup pot, heat a bit of oil over high heat. Brown the pork in batches.
3. Return all the browned pork, as well as the chopped onions, to the pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cut the carrots, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, and pepper into bite-sized pieces.
6. Add the veggies to the pot, cover with more water, and bring to a boil.
7. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the veggies are tender.
8. Add the egg noodles and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
9. Season with salt, pepper, MAGGI, VEGETA, and Montreal steak spice.
10. Garnish with parsley to serve.

Notes/Hints:

• Change the veggies to what you have available. 
• Seasonings are to your taste. Start with a bit and add more as desired.
• The Montreal Steak Spice is definitely NOT a German addition. But hubby and I love the extra 'kick' it gives. Omit it if you want a more traditional German taste.
• Makes about 7½ quarts of soup (30 cups) 
• If you don't have Maggi, Vegeta, and/or Montreal Steak Spice, use whatever spices are your favorites.
