How to Make Beef Stroganoff Soup
Step 1: Sear the Beef
In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the beef sirloin strips and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot using a slotted spoon and set it aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 3: Build the Soup
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the cooked beef back to the pot.
Step 4: Cook the Noodles
Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked to your liking.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and about ½ cup of the hot soup. This helps to temper the sour cream and prevent it from curdling when added to the pot. Pour the tempered sour cream mixture back into the pot and stir gently to combine. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
- Slice the Beef Thin: Thinly sliced beef will cook quickly and remain tender in the soup. Cut against the grain for the most tender results.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pot: When searing the beef, cook it in batches to ensure it browns properly. Overcrowding the pot will cause the beef to steam instead of sear.
- Temper the Sour Cream: Tempering the sour cream prevents it from curdling when added to the hot soup.
- Make Ahead Tip: If making the soup ahead of time, cook everything except the noodles and add them fresh when reheating to prevent them from becoming mushy.
How to Serve
This Beef Stroganoff Soup is a hearty and satisfying meal on its own. You can also serve it with:
- Crusty Bread: A side of crusty bread is perfect for dipping into the soup and soaking up the flavorful broth.
- Side Salad: A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette complements the richness of the soup.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing
You can freeze this soup for up to 3 months. It’s best to freeze the soup without the noodles, as they can become mushy when thawed. Add fresh noodles when reheating.
Reheating
Reheat leftover soup gently on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave. If reheating from frozen, be sure to thaw the soup completely in the refrigerator before reheating.
FAQs
1. Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, you can use other tender cuts of beef, such as tenderloin or New York strip steak. Stew meat can also be used, but it will need to cook longer until tender.
2. Can I add other vegetables?
Absolutely! Carrots, celery, and potatoes are all delicious additions to this soup.
3. Can I make this soup vegetarian?
Yes, you can substitute the beef with mushrooms or lentils for a vegetarian version.
4. How can I make this soup thicker?
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering soup until it reaches your desired consistency.
