1 ¼cupdiced celery
1 ¼cupdiced carrots
3cupsbeef broth
8ouncesegg noodlesuncooked
Instructions
Start by seasoning your beef. In a large pot, combine the stew beef with olive oil and all the spices. Give everything a good stir to ensure the meat is evenly coated.
Heat the pot over medium-high heat and brown the beef on all sides. This step is crucial as it locks in the flavors and creates a beautiful foundation for your soup. Don't worry about cooking the beef through – it will continue cooking in the broth.
Once the beef is browned, add your celery and carrots to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the celery starts to soften. This step allows the vegetables to release their flavors into the pot.
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add your egg noodles and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot and let everything cook for about 20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the beef is cooked through.
Notes
Covering the soup with a lid helps prevent moisture loss and get the veggies and beef as tender as possible.
Since the soup is going to continue cooking, it is not necessary to fully cook the beef when browning it. It will finish cooking as the soup simmers.
Other veggies you can use include onion, kale, and bell peppers. You can also add diced potatoes.
Store your leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat a bowl of soup in the microwave covered with a paper towel or paper plate for 30 seconds. Stir the soup and continue reheating it 20 seconds at a time as needed until it’s warm.
