FAQ's
Egg Noodles are the classic favorite for Beef Noodle Soup, but you can really use whatever noodles are your favorite and you have on hand. Some of my favorites are; orchiaetta, rotini, bowtie pasta, gnocchi (delicious!) You can use anything that will fit on your spoon!
Leftover roast beef is perfect. You only need two cups of diced beef. Make a little bit larger roast than you typically would and use the leftovers to make beef noodle soup!
Thicken soup with 1 tablespoon room temperature butter and 1 tablespoon flour. Mash it together too form a paste. Add it to boiling soup, whisk and cook for two minutes. That will cook out the flour taste and thicken the soup nicely.
Use aa tablespoon of cornstarch and a tablespoon of cold water. Whisk together to form a slurry. Stir into boiling soup.
Tips
You can always use beef stew meat for the soup but if you have any leftover roast beef, that will be excellent in your stew. Plus you're repurposing the meat into a whole new meal.
Here are some great roasts you can utilize leftovers from:
- chuck roast
- prime rib
- roast beef
- tri-tip
- if pennies are tight and you just have ground beef, you can use that as well. Just brown the ground beef and drain first before beginning to make the soup.
I've made this soup with leftover from both the prime rib and roast beef recipes above. This soup is incredibly delicious AND if you have time and can make homemade beef stock? That will make it that much better. This soup is AMAZING!
To thicken your stew using cornstarch, use cold water in the slurry. Cornstarch gets lumpy when mixed with warm or hot water.
A splash of soy sauce will intensify the flavor of the soup. You can use light soy sauce or dark soy sauce - either will work. Add about a tablespoon.
Storage
Refrigerate - cool to room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container. Refrigerate up to three days.
Freezer - freeze up to three months.
Reheat - thaw overnight in refrigerator. This can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Carol Cuevas says
Very easy and so, so delicious!
The only differences I made were out of necessity.
I used my own homemade beef bone broth @ 5 cups and didn't use the 1 cup of water. I used only 1 carrot and added a little celery, because the only frozen veges I had were a mix of carrot, peas, corn and green beans, of which I defrosted to about half. Nice color addition by mistake.
For service, we melted some finely grated cheese right on top, and added homemade sourdough croutons (we're addicted to the croutons).
The Montreal steak seasoning, while subtle, really makes this soup! I used to make soups like this with a laundry list of spices, and to my taste, was just OK.
Thanks for this. This recipe is now the official beef noodle soup in my recipe box.
Bowl Me Over says
👏👏👏 Yay!!! Your tweaks sound AMAZING!! I love the shortcut of Montreal steak seasoning as well, because it's all the flavor and half the work. Happy Holidays to you and yours Carol - thanks so much for coming back and leaving the message. I appreciate it!!
Heather says
Delicious soup and excellent stock. Recipe instructions need detail work however. When to add garlic (step 2 or 3 or both)? When to add water and vegetable oil? If you aren't an ardent cook these details make a difference. We used 6 cups (instead of 4) of your homemade stock recipe (which I made exactly a instructed) and it was a great soup.
Bowl Me Over says
Heather, thank you for bringing this to try attention, I really appreciate it. Yes, sometimes I get into a big hurry, my apologizes! I've correct and updated the instructions, thank you!
Marian Junkman says
Why does your broth look red? Does it have paprika or something or is it because the steak seasoning?
Marian Junkman says
Ah, found it. It’s the home made stock.
Bowl Me Over says
Yes, that's so true - the homemade stock is made with red wine and boy does that give it flavor!
Jennifer A Stewart says
