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.
