Directions

1. Coat the beef in flour, salt, & pepper. Heat the oil in a large pot. Brown the beef in the oil.
2. Dump the petite tomatoes, tomato sauce, & beef broth into the pot with the beef. Add the parsley, Worcetershire sauce & all the spices into the sauce. Simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes.
3. Add the vegetables to the sauce & simmer the soup on low heat for 30-40 minutes.
4. Before the vegetables are completely done add the noodles into the pan & water (enough to cover the noodles). Cook for additional 10 minutes or until the noodles are fully cooked.
5. Serve with warm bread & butter. Yum!
