Beef Bourguignon Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• - 1 tablespoon olive oil
• - 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• - 1 medium onion, diced
• - 2 carrots, diced
• - 3 cloves garlic, minced
• - 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
• - 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• - 2 cups red wine (such as Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
• - 4 cups beef broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
• - 2 bay leaves
• - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• - 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• - 8 ounces egg noodles, cooked according to package instructions
• - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Brown the Beef:

   - In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables:

   - In the same pot, add the diced onion and carrots. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the carrots begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

3. Build the Soup Base:

   - Stir in the tomato paste and flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly browned. Gradually add the red wine, stirring constantly to deglaze the pot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.

4. Simmer the Soup:

   - Return the browned beef to the pot, along with the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.

5. Serve:

   - Remove the bay leaves from the soup and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve the soup over cooked egg noodles, garnishing with fresh parsley as shown in the photo.
