Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pound wide egg noodles
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned beef and set it aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
  8. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
  9. Increase the heat to medium and bring the soup back to a gentle boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions, usually 6 to 8 minutes, until they are tender. Do not overcook the noodles.
  10. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  11. Ladle the hearty beef noodle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For an even richer savory broth, brown the beef in two stages to develop a deeper fond on the bottom of the pot.
  • If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the simmering soup during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe makes a filling soup idea that tastes even better the next day, making it great for family meal prep.
