Notes:
Choosing the Meat: Short ribs are ideal for this recipe because they become tender and flavorful after simmering. You can also use chuck roast or another cut of beef, but ensure it has good marbling for the best flavor.
Wine Selection: Use a good quality red wine, such as a Burgundy or Pinot Noir, for the best flavor. Avoid cooking wines, as they often contain added salt and preservatives.
Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like potatoes, parsnips, or green beans for additional flavor and nutrition.
Tomato Paste: Adding tomato paste enhances the depth of flavor in the soup. If you prefer a richer taste, you can use a full can instead of half.
Simmering Time: Allowing the soup to simmer for at least 2.5 hours helps develop the flavors and ensures the meat is tender. You can simmer longer if desired, just keep an eye on the liquid level.
Homemade Gluten-Free Noodles: For the gluten-free egg noodles, make sure to use a quality gluten-free flour blend. The type of flour can affect the texture, so a blend that includes xanthan gum is often best.
Kneading the Dough: When making the noodles, knead the dough until it’s smooth and pliable. If the dough is too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
Storage: Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, store the noodles separately if you have any leftovers, as they can become soggy over time.
Freezing: You can freeze the soup without the noodles. When ready to serve, reheat the soup and cook fresh noodles to maintain their texture.
