Instructions

  • Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
  • Gradually add beef broth and water, stirring to combine. Bring to simmer.
  • Stir in heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Add egg noodles and cook until tender (8-10 minutes).
  • Combine and Serve:
  • Add baked meatballs to the soup and simmer an additional 5 minutes until cooked through.
  • Serve hot, topped with sour cream and lingonberry jam if desired.

Notes

  • For gluten-free, use gluten-free panko and substitute flour with gluten-free thickener.
  • If using frozen meatballs, reduce broth by 1 cup to account for moisture.
  • Store in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days.
