I’ve been making soup every weekend since winter arrived. The cold has been slowly seeping into my bones and I do whatever I can to warm up during this weather. My husband has been making fires in the fireplace and I’ve been making hot soup for dinner. Often times I don’t want to make anything with the soup but it’s nice to have a side dish with it.
This recipe is awesome because it combines a thick and hearty stew with my favorite: pasta. The stew is filled with beef, vegetables, and red wine. It simmers over a hot stove until the flavors mingle into a delightful stew. It’s then served over top of egg noddles. It’s a perfect snow day stew recipe.
Another great thing about this recipe is you don’t have to stick to the vegetables in the recipe. Basically any combination of vegetables, about 4 cups worth, would work just fine. I’m thinking next time I might use onions, mushrooms, and potatoes. It would also be delicious with spinach, onions, and cauliflower.
