Beef Noodle Soup

1lb cubed beef stew meat
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
2 T beef bouillon
¼ tsp dried parsley
1 can low sodium beef broth
ground black pepper
1 cup chopped carrots
5 cups water
dry egg noodles
mixed frozen veggies
2 T corn starch
½ cup water

In a large sauce pan saute the stew meat, onion and celery until meat is browned. Stir in bouillon, parsley, ground black pepper, carrots, water, beef broth and mixed veggies. Simmer covered for 30 min to 1 hour. The meat will be more tender the longer it simmers. Add some dry egg noodles according to preference. Boil uncovered for 10 min or until noodles are tender. For thicker broth combine corn starch and water, stir into soup while the egg noodles are cooking.
