Beef Mushroom Soup

How to Make Beef and Mushroom Soup

Making this incredibly craveable Beef Mushroom Soup recipe is oh-so-simple. The full detailed directions are below, but here’s a rundown of how it’s done.

Sauté Your Veggies

Start by melting rich golden butter in your Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then adding onions, garlic, and mushrooms. As you sauté, your onions should become slightly translucent and your mushrooms will start to soften and release their earthy, umami-rich flavors. The garlic will release its incredible aroma, making sure you’re off to a fragrant and flavorful start.

Cook the Beef

Then it’s time to add your beef. Make sure your pieces are cut into uniformly sized pieces for even cooking. Stir frequently until your beef is no longer pink (or a little pink remains, if you prefer your meat on the rarer side) and combined with all those amazing veggies. Mouths will most definitely be watering by this point, but you’ve got a few steps remaining before your soup is ready!

Add Ingredients

Next, it’s time to drop your remaining ingredients into the pot. Give it a good mix to ensure all ingredients are well-incorporated, then turn down the heat and allow it to simmer (covered) for 10 minutes. Make sure to give it the occasional stir so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.

Add the Noodles

Finally, drop in your uncooked egg noodles, cover the soup, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until your noodles are firm but tender. Now it’s time to stir in your sour cream and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until your soup is perfectly creamy and well-blended.

Top and Serve

If you like, you can add a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top just before serving for a pop of color and a hint of freshness, making this beef and mushroom noodle soup look as good as it tastes.

Serving Beef Mushroom Soup

Our Beef Mushroom Soup recipe makes an amazing meal all on its own, but adding a simple side or two takes this dish over the top. To make this creamy beef soup extra special, you can serve it in Parmesan Bread Bowls. The bowls add a delicious, cheesy twist and can be prepped ahead of time to finish baking while your soup simmers. Just imagine breaking into that crusty, golden exterior to find a creamy, savory soup inside.

For sides, a simple green salad with a tangy vinaigrette is perfect for balancing out the rich flavors of this beef and mushroom noodle soup. If you’re in the mood for something warm and comforting, pair your soup with some crusty bread or Betty’s perfectly golden Buttermilk Whole Wheat Biscuits.

For an extra serving of veggies, try pairing your creamy beef soup with some roasted Brussels sprouts or Honey-Glazed Carrots. These pairings make for a well-rounded, delicious meal that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds!

Storing and Reheating Mushroom Soup

Storing and reheating your creamy beef mushroom soup is super simple, so you can enjoy it anytime you want.

For fridge storage, just let the soup cool down to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. Your beef and mushroom noodle soup will stay fresh in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. When you’re ready to reheat, you can pop it in the microwave. Just put a portion in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring halfway through. If you prefer the stovetop, pour the creamy beef mushroom soup into a pot and warm it over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it's hot and bubbly.

For longer storage, the freezer is your friend. Again, let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bags. Your steak and mushroom soup will stay good for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw it overnight in the fridge. Once thawed, reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave using the methods above. If you're in a hurry, you can also reheat your beef and mushroom noodle soup directly from frozen by transferring from its storage container to a pot and gently simmering it on the stovetop. Just note that it will take a bit longer when heating from frozen, so patience is key.

With these methods, you can enjoy this creamy beef soup whenever you want, knowing it’s just as delicious as the day you made it.
