Comforting Steak Soup

Submitted by Camaro Chic

"When the weather is cold and it is snowy outside I love to make this soup. It is relativly inexpensive but has so much flavor. Very different from any steak soup I have tried. My kids actually get excited when I make this soup. I have had this recipe for years and believe it may have originated from Lady's Home Journal and modified just a tad. I would add a "serve with" but think it is good for the whole meal."

Very easy and quite delicious. I used homemade chicken broth and otherwise followed the instructions. Made for Spring PAC 2012. Thank you for posting.
