Directions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms in batches until golden, then remove and set aside.
- Season the beef with the meat seasoning. Dredge in flour and sear in the skillet until browned on all sides, leaving the center slightly red. Transfer to a plate.
- Deglaze the skillet with red wine, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until reduced by half.
- Add butter, onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and soup seasonings.
- Add the beef and combine with the beef and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, until meat is tender.
- In the meantime, cook the egg noodles separately according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Add frozen peas and cooked mushrooms back into the soup for the final few minutes of cooking.
- To serve, place noodles in individual bowls and ladle the hot soup over them. Garnish with fresh parsley.
