For years, my mom made her tasty Vegetable Beef Barley Soup! Anytime she made meals for others, this would be the soup she prepared. Everyone went crazy over it and even all of you following the blog have LOVED the recipe!
Recently, she changed the barley to noodles and the end result was EVEN BETTER (in my opinion of course, hehe). Hearty and flavorful with tender noodles, veggies, and ground beef, this soup is a definite must try! Freeze the leftovers for a later date, or share with family and friends!
With Fall/Winter weather heading our way, this soup is a great way to warm up! Pair with some yummy bread and you have a fabulous meal!
From mom’s kitchen to yours, enjoy!!

One would presume beef noodle soup contains noodles.
Do you cook the noodles separately and then add to finished soup?
Kristin
Yes, step number 3 is where you will add in the noodles uncooked and allow them to cook in the broth! Enjoy!!

Made this last night. I added an 8 oz can of tomato sauce (no salt added) and a cup of water with an extra bouillon cube. Also, I found frozen veggies specifically for vegetable soup, and it had carrots & celery in it. May not need the 1/2 cup of each the recipe calls for. The soup was a big hit!
Kristin
So glad you enjoyed the soup! Its a favorite in my house!
Debbie orr

Hi
I wish your recipes listed how much Sodium is in them.
I have to watch that very close, for my health.
So I can’t make this Soup yet.
Kristin

Is it possible to do it in the slow cooker? Thanks.
Kristin
Sure! But I would precook the beef! Add everything to the slow cooker for about 4 hours on low, add in the pasta and cook an additional 1-2 hours.
Vickie

This may be a dumb question but do you keep covered while simmering for the 45-50 min?
Kristin
Not a dumb question! Yep, keep covered for the simmer! Enjoy!

Made this soup tonight and found it very tasty! My only change would be to cook the noodles separate and add them at the end. I used medium pasta shells and they were very mushy after cooking for an hour.I added an extra can of tomatoes but could still have used more liquid. Good recipe to play with-thanks
Kristin
Glad you enjoyed it!

If you cook soup in crock pot how will the noodles be
Kristin
You can add cooked noodles in at the end of the cooking cycle, or add them uncooked about 2 hours (if on low) prior to being done and it will be great!
Jill Mackissock
Can you do this in a crock-pot
Kristin
Sure! Just cook the meat and drain it first, then put the rest in the crockpot on low for about 6-8 hours!
Pat Martin
