Beef Noodle Soup

Ready for another quick and simple soup recipe? (Courtesy of allrecipes.com)  This one is chalked full of flavor from beef bouillon and is oh so delicious.  Please excuse the picture quality, sometimes my camera has lighting issues when it comes to food.  Anyway, serve this soup up with grilled cheese sandwiches for a change of pace and you've got yourself a hearty meal! 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound cubed beef stew meat
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup beef bouillon granules
• 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 5 3/4 cups water
• 3/4 of 1 (16 oz) bag of egg noodles

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium saucepan, bring water to boil and cook egg noodles according to package directions.  NOTE:  I'm not sure of the exact amount of egg noodles I poured in, but I just looked at the bag and estimated that I used 3/4 of the 16 oz. bag.  
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium high heat, saute the stew meat, onion and celery for 5 minutes, or until meat is browned on all sides.
3. Stir in the bouillon, parsley, ground black pepper, carrots, and water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low.  Add the cooked egg noodles and and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
