Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 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. Pat the beef cubes dry and season them 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, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  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 beef to the pot. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary.
  8. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
  9. Increase the heat to medium and add the egg noodles. Cook according to package directions, usually 6 to 8 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Do not overcook.
  10. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • For extra rich broth flavor, sear the beef in batches to develop a deep brown crust on all sides.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mix the flour with 1/2 cup of cold water first to create a slurry before adding it to the vegetables.
  • This soup tastes even better the next day, making it great for meal prep.
