Made with all the ingredients exceft for the oil. I placed it all in my crock pot and cooked for 3 hours on low! Very comforting!

I really liked this. My son did not like the broth but loved the meat only. So, I probably won't get to make this again for some time.

Just came back from Austria, and this was just as tasty and heartwarming!

Great soup. I forgot to put in the parsley, used Yukon Gold potatoes, 4 beef bouillon cubes, and added a little sugar. I love soup, and this one is a new favorite. My daughter who does not like peppers declared she liked this soup and even asked for seconds, even when she knew she was eating peppers. This recipe also gave me an opportunity to use the marjoram in my spice collection before it got too dusty!

This was a hearty winters night meal. I used beef bullion in place of the can of beef broth and couldn't resist adding some hot paprika. YUM! Reviewed for ZWT3
