Method
Preparation
- Measure out all your ingredients first. Chop the stew meat into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic salt, celery salt, and onion powder for maximum flavor.
Cooking
- In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meat in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. This process should take about 3-4 minutes per batch. Once browned, set the beef aside.
- Deglaze the pot with a splash of wine—this will lift the delightful bits stuck to the bottom. Then, add butter, diced onions, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add the remaining wine, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Let it cook for another minute to reduce.
- Sprinkle the flour over the aromatics and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Gradually stir in the beef and chicken broth.
- Add the bouillon cube and the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare the egg noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and set aside in serving bowls.
- Once the soup has simmered and thickened, add the frozen peas. Remove the bay leaf, then mix the sour cream with a little broth before stirring it back into the soup.
- Ladle the soup over the egg noodles in bowls, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy.
Notes
This soup can be made a day in advance and frozen. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For extra flavor, consider adding a pat of butter on top before serving.
