Ingredients:

– 1 lb beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 8 cups beef broth
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
– 2 celery stalks, sliced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 8 oz egg noodles
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the pot. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

3. Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. This adds extra flavor to the broth.

4. Stir in the sliced carrots, celery, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.

5. Add the egg noodles to the pot and continue to simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked to your desired doneness.

6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt or pepper according to your taste preference.

7. Once the noodles are cooked, and the beef is tender, your Beef Noodle Soup is ready to serve. Ladle it into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
