Ingredients Needed
This beef noodle soup recipe is made with a handful simple ingredients, yet they come together for pure comfort in a bowl! Find the measurements below in the recipe card.
Olive Oil: For cooking the beef and vegetables.
Chuck Roast: You’ll need a 1 pound chuck roast.
Salt & Pepper: Enhances the overall flavor of the soup.
Yellow Onion: Yellow onions will add delicious savory flavor but are mellow enough to not overpower the dish.
Carrots: For maximum flavor, use large carrots rather than baby carrots.
Celery: Slice the celery as small or large as you’d like to add extra texture.
Garlic: A must in soup for savory flavor and aromatics!
Beef Broth: Adjusts the consistency of the soup and also adds flavor.

How to Make Beef Noodle Soup
Beef noodle soup is one of the best recipes for chilly days because it’s warm, cozy and super easy to make! We love it served with a good crusty bread for dipping. Here’s how to make it:
Cook the beef: Heat the olive oil in a large heavy bottom pot over medium high heat. Add the cubed beef, salt and pepper to the pot and stir to coat the beef in the salt and pepper.
Sauté the veggies: Add the onion, carrots, and celery stalks to the pot and sauté with the beef until all the beef has cooked and the onions are transparent. Add in the garlic and sauté another minute, just until it becomes fragrant.
Simmer: To the pot add the beef broth, thyme, and rosemary and bring everything to a rolling boil. Add the noodles to the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook until the noodles are al dente.
Serve: Add the parsley to the soup and serve with additional salt and pepper to taste!

Meat to Use: I used chuck roast for this recipe but you can use any cut of beef meant for stewing.
Dried Herbs: You can use dried herbs in place of fresh ones. Use 1 teaspoon dried thyme and 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves.
Noodles: To change things up, try another type of noodle like tortellini, bowtie pasta, small shell pasta, or even spaghetti noodles would be great.
Vegetables: To add even more nutrients, mix in baby spinach leaves, green beans, peas, zucchini, corn, or even potatoes. However, be aware that different veggies will have different cook times.
