I made this using leftover beef stock from recipe #103403 and it turned out very nice. I omitted the salt as my broth was salty enough. The next time I make this, I may omit the Dijon mustard as I found it a strong taste for this soup. I did add a tbsp of worcestershire sauce too. (As mentioned by another reviewer, I did add noodles to the kids bowls too.). Thanks for sharing this.

I was getting ready to post this very recipe from "The Big Book of Soups & Stews". In a word this soup is awesome. I did not have mushrooms or parsley but otherwise followed the recipe to a "t". Even my kids loved it. I added noodles to their broth. Update: I am making this again today for dinner 5/3/08. It occurred to me that I used beef stew meat (cut into small pieces) last time and will use is once again today. I'm also going to saute the meat and throw it all into a crock pot and simmer all day long.
