Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound beef stew meat, cubed

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • 4 cups water

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • 3 tablespoons paprika

  • 1 tablespoon vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic

  • 2 beef bouillon cubes

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard

  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 1 (8 ounce) package wide egg noodles

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir beef and onion in hot oil until meat is browned, about 10 minutes. Add water, tomato sauce, paprika, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, beef bouillon, mustard, lemon juice, and bay leaf. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer over low heat until beef is very tender, 2 to 3 hours.

  2. Stir potatoes into soup and continue to simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes more. For a thicker soup, leave the pot uncovered; for a thinner soup, replace lid.

  3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.

  4. Serve soup over egg noodles in bowls.
