Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Soup
Description
Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Soup starts with stew meat cooked in beef broth flavored with Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, onion and garlic powders, salt, and pepper. After pressure cooking or slow cooking, sour cream is blended with the broth and stirred into the pot along with sliced mushrooms to enrich the soup. Cornstarch mixed with water is then whisked in to thicken the broth to a creamy consistency. Finally, cooked egg noodles are stirred in to provide substance and make the soup filling. The result is a creamy, savory soup with tender beef chunks, soft noodles, and gentle mushroom undertones.
This soup is well-suited for a comforting lunch or dinner on cooler days and can be garnished with cracked black pepper and fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to add brightness at serving. The use of either an Instant Pot or slow cooker offers flexible preparation based on available kitchen equipment and timing.
A suggested flavor note is to add crushed red pepper flakes for a subtle heat contrast. Adjust seasoning before serving to taste with salt and pepper. The cornstarch helps achieve a smooth, creamy texture without dairy clumping.

Instant Pot Instructions
- In your instant pot, combine stew meat, beef broth, worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Place lid on the instant pot, make sure the vent nozzle is in the non-venting position, press "pressure cook" and set timer to 1 hour.
- Move venting nozzle to the vent position and allow to vent until the button drops down. Remove lid, and switch Instant Pot to "soup" mode. Stir together sour cream and 1 cup of broth from the Instant Pot until smooth. Stir mixture back into the pot along with the mushrooms. Whisk together cold water and corn starch in a bowl.
- Once soup is boiling, whisk corn starch mixture into the Instant Pot until soup thickens. Stir in noodles. Taste, add salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Garnish with cracked black pepper, fresh thyme or parsley, and grated parmesan cheese and serve.
Slow Cooker Instructions
- In your slow cooker, combine stew meat, beef broth, worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on high 3 hours, or low 6 hours.
- Stir together sour cream and 1 cup of broth from the slow cooker until smooth. Stir mixture back into the pot along with the mushrooms. Whisk together cold water and corn starch in a bowl, then stir into the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 1 hour longer. Taste, add salt and pepper to taste if needed. Add cooked noodles. Garnish with cracked black pepper, fresh thyme or parsley, and grated parmesan cheese and serve.
