Instructions

  • Instructions:
  • Cut steak into bite-size pieces and brown in a skillet or in the kettle you are planning to make the soup in.
  • Add beef broth and water. Simmer for one hour.
  • Saute vegetables and spices in about 1/2 cup of soup broth in a medium-sized skillet.
  • Add vegetables to meat and broth. Mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer 45 minutes.
  • Add kidney beans and pasta. Cook 15 minutes or until pasta is done.
  • If some people in your family or group need gluten-free pasta like my family, cook the regular and gluten-free pasta separately and let each person add some to their own bowl.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
