This hearty Beef Noodle Soup is the ultimate comfort food! Tender beef, vegetables, and egg noodles simmer in a rich, savory broth for a cozy, family-friendly meal.
When our family needs a bit of a boost as the seasons change, I love to make flavor packed, nutrient dense soups like beef noodle. This soup has comfort written all over it with a rich beef broth base, stewing beef, simple veggies and silky egg noodles – you can’t go wrong.
This beef noodle soup recipe great during busy weeknights to get a good, hearty meal in quickly but it’s also really nice on a quiet weekend. Sometimes I even have time to make a batch of Breadsticks which the kids absolutely love. I know you’re going to love this one, too!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Beef noodle soup is budget friendly. Most ingredients come in quantities that can be used in other dishes, too!
- This is a one-pot soup, need I say more? This helps to cut down on dishes so you can spend more time enjoying your meal time with your family.
- Some soups need to simmer for an hour or so, but this recipe for beef soup is ready to eat in only 30 minutes.
Ingredients For Beef Noodle Soup
- Olive oil – Sear the meat in olive oil or any other oil with a high smoke point like canola or vegetable. I love the flavor that olive oil adds.
- Beef stew meat – The best cut of beef for a hearty soup like this is a chuck roast or short ribs. Ask your butcher for beef stew meat so it is cut up for you and ready to go.
- Onion – Diced onion enhances the flavor of soup.
- Celery – This will add flavor and texture to beef noodle soup.
- Carrots – Carrots enhance flavor and texture in soup.
- Mushrooms – Sliced button mushrooms add a bit of meaty flavor and texture.
- Dried parsley – Season your soup with this, it is subtle but adds the right amount of flavor.
- Ground black pepper – Complements the mouthwatering flavors in this dish.
- Beef broth – Of course, there isn’t soup without broth! Use storebought or homemade, whichever you have on hand.
- Garlic – Adds depth of flavor to beef noodle soup.
- Tomato paste – Adds a richness and depth of flavor to this dish.
- Wide egg noodles – These silky, rich noodles are a great choice because they are easily cooked right in the broth.
- Bay leaves – Dried bay leaves will enhance all of the flavors of this soup.
How To Make Beef Noodle Soup
- Add oil to a large pot over high heat. Add beef and onions to the heated pot and sear beef on all sides.
- Stir in diced carrots, celery and mushrooms then season with bouillon, parsley, and pepper.
- Add beef broth, garlic, tomato paste, egg noodles and bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables and noodles are cooked through.
- Remove bay leaves and serve.
Pro Tips
- You may want to cook noodles separately if you plan to freeze this soup or use it for meals throughout the week so they don’t absorb a ton of extra liquid.
Storage And Reheating
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Store leftover beef and noodle soup in the freezer once cooled completely. Freeze in individual portions for easy lunches. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheat soup on the stovetop until heated through if heating more than one portion. If you are just heating up one bowl, use the microwave for convenience and easier clean up.
This savory, hearty beef noodle soup will be one you come back to time and time again. Comforting, filling, and mouthwatering – it’s the perfect soup!

How To Serve Beef Noodle Soup
This hearty soup can be a meal on it’s own with a fresh Dinner Roll or Crescent Roll to slather in butter and dip into your bowl.
Of course, a good old grilled cheese sandwich is always a great accompaniment to any soup and Grilled Cheese Roll Ups are a fun and easy take on the classic sandwich that is very dippable!
