Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 x 20g packet dried mushrooms
  • 1 ½ lb beef of choice
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 sweet onions (thinly sliced)
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
  • 1 lb button mushrooms (cleaned and halved)
  • 5 oz mini pasta (I used fusilli, or sub whole wheat or lentil pasta )

Method
 

  1. In a heavy soup pot, bring beef stock and 3 cups of water to a boil. Add dried mushrooms and boil for 10 minutes on low. Set aside.
  2. Chop beef into chunks, quarter button mushrooms, and dice onions. Finely chop garlic cloves.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Brown beef for 6-8 minutes, then remove and set aside.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the pot. Sauté garlic until fragrant, then stir in onion, fresh thyme, and bay leaf until the onion is slightly golden.
  5. Pour the warm mushroom stock into the pot. Stir in browned beef and button mushrooms, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 1 hour 30 minutes until beef is tender.
  6. Add the mini pasta to the soup and continue cooking for about 10 minutes more until the pasta is done.

Notes

- To ensure the beef is incredibly tender, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for whole cuts, followed by a 3-minute rest, though simmering for 1 hour 30 minutes will achieve excellent tenderness.
- For a richer flavor, consider searing the beef aggressively to develop a deep brown crust before simmering. The fond left in the pot will add incredible depth to your beef stroganoff soup.
- This soup can be made ahead; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of beef broth or water if it's too thick. Avoid freezing if cream cheese is added, as it may separate.
