Homemade Beef Spaetzle Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Soup ingredients
2 lbs round steaks, cut up 1 inch cubes
8 potatoes, cut in 1-2 inch squares
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups celery, chopped
7 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 soup bone (optional)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
water
Spatzel ingredients
3 cups flour
5 eggs, beaten
1 pinch nutmeg
1 cup milk

Preparation

Place the first seven soup ingredients in a 10qt.
Pot.
Fill the pot with water leaving about four inches from the top.
Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 3 hours.
When through, mix the spaetzle ingredients until you get a gluey consistency (add more milk if necessary).
Boil a pot of water and with a hand spaghetti-press, press the spaetzle into the water.
When the spaetzle hits the water it will form soft noodles.
Then transfer and stir the spaetzle (noodles) into the pot of soup.
