What You Need To Make This Beef Noodle Soup Recipe?

Cubed Beef Stew Meat: Selecting quality marbled beef stew meat is essential, for a mouthwatering result. The marbling ensures that the meat stays tender and succulent as it cooks imparting a richness to the broth. Opt for cut chunks to ensure even cooking.

Chopped Onion: Onions provide a foundation for the soup releasing their sweetness and enticing aroma when sautéed. They create a base that beautifully complements the beef. Yellow onions are preferred for their balance of tanginess and sweetness.

Chopped Celery: Celery adds a refreshing crunch to the soup. It’s not just an ingredient; it plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall flavor profile of the soup. Make sure to use crisp celery for best results.

Chopped Carrots: Carrots bring color and a touch of sweetness to the soup harmonizing with its savory notes. Once cooked their tenderness perfectly contrasts with the beef creating a combination, in every bite.

Beef Bouillon Granules: Beef bouillon granules serve as bursts of meaty goodness elevating the soup with flavor effortlessly. They offer an effective way to infuse the broth with taste without requiring hours of cooking.

Dried Parsley: Dried parsley may appear to be nothing than a touch but in reality it brings a fresh and slightly peppery taste to the soup. It complements the herbs and spices elevating the flavor of the dish.

Ground Black Pepper: Ground black pepper, a timeless seasoning introduces a spicy element to the soup. It provides that kick that cuts through the richness and harmoniously ties all the flavors together.

Water: Water serves as the foundation of this soup transforming as it absorbs all the flavors from the beef and vegetables. Opting for filtered water ensures a pure taste.

Frozen Egg Noodles: Frozen egg noodles make for a scrumptious addition, to this soup. They soak up the broth. Contribute a delightful chewiness. These noodles hold up well during cooking avoiding any mushiness and maintaining a texture.

Steps To Make Beef Noodle Soup:

Step 1: Start by heating up a saucepan over high heat. Add in the cubed beef stew meat, onion and celery. Give it a stir. Let it cook until the meat turns a beautiful brown color, on all sides. This should take 5 minutes.

Step 2: Now add in the carrots. Sprinkle in some beef bouillon granules, dried parsley flakes and a pinch of pepper. Mix everything well.

Step 3: Next pour, in the water. Add the egg noodles. Stir everything together.

Step 4: Bring your mixture to a boil then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the veggies are tender. The beef is thoroughly cooked.

Step 5: Scoop the soup into bowls. There you have it—a comforting bowl of deliciousness to be enjoyed!

Tip:

To really take your Beef Noodle Soup to the next level it’s important to spend some time browning the beef stew meat at the start of the cooking process. Make sure your saucepan is nice and hot, before adding the meat and resist the urge to stir away. Give the beef a chance to sear undisturbed for a few minutes until you see a beautiful brown crust developing. This technique, called the Maillard reaction not only enhances the flavor of the beef. Also adds a rich and savory depth to your broth.

By ensuring a proper sear you’re establishing a foundation of complexity and richness that will permeate throughout the soup. This will create a dining experience where flavors are intensified and aromas are truly delightful.
