I posted about this recipe this past winter, but now I have a photograph:) Lovina made a batch last time I visited her. Look how hearty it is, swimming with noodles, homegrown potatoes, and thick chunks of home-canned beef. To sort of repeat what I said about this dish in the winter: Few other recipes – with the exception perhaps of oatmeal pie – do I associate more with my early memories of Elizabeth Coblentz, the original Amish Cook. Elizabeth’s would put on a pot of homemade “one kettle soup” frequently, whether it was summer or winter it made for a quick, easy, hearty meal. Here is Elizabeth’s recipe:
ONE KETTLE SOUP
1 quart of beef
4 potatoes or more, diced
1 package of noodles
salt and pepper to taste
1 onion
Cook potatoes, onions, and noodles together until done. Add beef or beef soup base to your taste.
Is this made with water or broth?
I think that “beef soup base” is beef broth. I think I will wait for cooler weather to make this soup. It does look tasty but with the warm weather I am living on salads and sandwiches.
This looks like good old home made soup…..looks so yummy….what was for dessert ?
How much water/beef broth/stock do you think is needed?
