Ingredients
Scale
- 1-2 beef bones (optional)
- 1 kg / 2 lbs cubed beef, such as stewing beef
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 celery stalks
- 4-5 peppercorns
- Salt
- 1½ litre / 10 cups water
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 250g / 8 oz button or chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp vegeta soup seasoning, or your favorite seasoning
- 125g / 4 oz short pasta
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 250ml / 1 cup full fat creme fraiche, or sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
- Combine beef bones (if using), cubed beef, onion, carrot, bay leaves, celery, peppercorns, and salt in a pot. Cover with water and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, skimming foam as needed. Alternatively, use an Instant Pot for a faster process: 30 minutes on high pressure plus 20-23 minutes to come to pressure. You can also skip to using prepared broth.
- Once stock is prepared, remove beef with a slotted spoon and set aside. Strain the broth through a fine sieve, discarding the vegetables and spices.
- In a soup pot, melt butter over low heat and sauté the chopped onion for 5 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms, increase heat to medium, sauté until golden, then season with salt and add minced garlic, cooking for an additional 30 seconds without burning the garlic.
- Pour the strained beef stock into the pot along with a bay leaf and soup seasoning. Bring to a boil, then add pasta and cook according to package instructions (about 8 minutes for al dente).
- Remove from heat and whisk together a ladleful of hot broth with sour cream and mustard. Stir this mixture into the soup, adjusting salt to taste. Serve garnished with fresh parsley or dill. For an authentic touch, serve sour cream separately.
Notes
Using pre-made broth can save time without sacrificing flavor.
Fresh herbs like parsley or dill make a great garnish for added flavor.
For a creamier texture, you can increase the amount of sour cream used.
