Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 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

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. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  5. Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add the dried thyme and dried rosemary.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
  7. Increase the heat to medium and add the egg noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually 6 to 8 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
  8. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve this savory shredded beef soup hot.

Notes

  • For an even richer broth, brown the beef well and use a high-quality, low-sodium beef broth.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the soup during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe makes a fantastic family favorite soup that freezes well for future quick meals.
