In a large pot, melt a small amount of butter and brown meat on both sides.  Add enough water to cover along with the onions, marjoram, salt and pepper.

Cook until meat is well done.  Remove from pot and cut into bite-size pieces.  Return to pot and add potatoes, egg and more water if needed.

In another pot cook the pasta according to package directions.  Drain and add to meat and potatoes when potatoes are almost done.

For thinner soup add more water and seasonings if desired.
