German Beef Noodle Soup – Oma's Rindfleisch Nudelsuppe

Beef noodle soup, aka Rinderfleisch Nudelsuppe, with either egg noodles or small pasta shapes, is made using a homemade beef broth. Kids love it! Adults love it! And since it’s easy, I love it!

This rich beef broth with egg noodles was one of my Mutti's best soups that she learned from her Mutti. And, NOW, I'm handing it down to you!
