Equipment
- Large Pot or Dutch Oven
- Cutting board and knife
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Wooden Spoon or Ladle
- Tongs
- Colander
Ingredients
For the Prime Rib Noodle Soup:
- 1 lb leftover prime rib thinly sliced or chopped
- 8 oz egg noodles or rice noodles your preference
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 carrots sliced
- 2 celery stalks sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 6 cups beef broth preferably homemade or low sodium
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Broth
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Add Seasonings and Broth: Stir in the dried thyme, rosemary, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Then pour in the beef broth. Stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Cook the Noodles
- Boil the Noodles: While the broth is simmering, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside. If using egg noodles, toss them lightly with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Add Prime Rib
- Add the Prime Rib: After the broth has simmered, add the sliced or chopped prime rib to the pot. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes to warm the beef through without overcooking it. You want the prime rib to stay tender and juicy.
Assemble the Soup
- Combine Noodles and Soup: Add the cooked noodles to the soup and stir to combine. If you prefer, you can serve the noodles separately and ladle the soup over them for more control over the texture.
- Season to Taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings, adding salt and pepper as needed.
Serve
- Garnish and Serve: Ladle the Prime Rib Noodle Soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot, and enjoy the rich flavors of the beef, vegetables, and broth.
Notes
Tips for the Best Prime Rib Noodle Soup
- Use Homemade Broth: If you have time, making homemade beef broth will give the soup a richer, more robust flavor.
- Don’t Overcook the Prime Rib: Prime rib is already cooked, so it only needs to be warmed in the soup. Be careful not to simmer it too long, or it may become tough.
- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add more vegetables like baby spinach, bok choy, or even corn for additional flavor and nutrition.
- Noodle Options: Egg noodles are a classic choice, but rice noodles or even ramen noodles work well. Just be sure to cook them separately to avoid sogginess.
- Leftovers: This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days. If storing, keep the noodles and soup base separate to avoid soggy noodles when reheating.
- Gluten-Free Option: For a gluten-free version, use rice noodles and ensure your soy sauce is gluten-free.
