Beef Stroganoff Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) beef stew meat or sirloin, cut into small cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup water
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup sour cream
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for thickening)
• 2 cups egg noodles (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Brown the Beef:
   • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and season with salt and pepper. Sear the beef until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables:
   • In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Build the Soup:
   • Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, paprika, and more salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Thicken the Soup:
   • In a small bowl, mix the flour with a bit of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the soup and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the soup has thickened to your desired consistency.
5. Add Creaminess:
   • Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
6. Optional: Cook Egg Noodles:
   • If using egg noodles, cook them according to package instructions in a separate pot while the soup simmers. Drain and add them to the soup just before serving.
7. Serve:
   • Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and enjoy!

Tips:

• Make It Ahead: This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will deepen as it sits.
• Creaminess Variations: For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
• Freezing: If you plan to freeze the soup, consider omitting the sour cream until you reheat it, as it may separate upon freezing.

Enjoy your delicious Beef Stroganoff Soup! It’s a great way to enjoy the comforting flavors of beef stroganoff in a warm, soothing soup.
