Satay Beef Noodle Soup
If you love your noodle soups, this recipe is one that cannot be missed.
I know there are many rich and easy noodle soups out there which promise to welcome you into the heart of an Asian kitchen. But with a lusciously creamy broth and a handful of ready made ingredients, you can share this Satay Beef Noodle Soup with those dearest to your heart. I certainly do every winter.
In fact, while most people get excited over pumpkin spice during the colder months, I instantly get excited over this fabulously simple savoury noodle soup.
What is satay sauce made from?
Satay sauce is one of those tried and true classics that can be found in many parts of Asia. The base of its flavour profile typically comes from ground roasted or fried peanuts, but many cuisines have added their own spin to it by adding ingredients signature to their tastes.
You may find some recipes include coconut milk, tamarind, galangal, sugar or chilli with the peanut base. You’ll soon find out that our family’s Satay Beef Noodle Soup is no exception.
Satay sauce is fairly easy to make, but if you don’t have the extra time then your local Asian supermarket should have it in stock. We also use two variations of satay sauce for that added dimension.

Hi, how much chicken stock did u use? It just says chicken stock and no quantity
You’re looking at 5L of chicken stock 🙂
Fab recipe, really simple and tastes delicious!
Thanks, Brian! Glad you liked it!
You can’t beat a comforting noodle soup and this beef version looks delicious.
Agreed! Thanks, Dannii!
This is a seriously amazing looking soup!! I wish it has been my dinner tonight!! I love Asian food and this is right up my alley, yum and can’t wait to give it a go, thanks
I’m so excited for you, Adrianne! It’ll be one dish to remember!
Mmm, delicious, I love this flavorful sauce! It’s definitely getting to be the season for satisfying soups like this.
Thanks, David! The sauces sure make a difference!
How much of the stock do you need?
You’re looking at about 5L but it depends how rich or concentrated you’d like your broth. So just add 3L and take it from there 🙂
Can coconut milk be used or does it have to be coconut cream?
Coconut cream will give it a much thicker and richer flavour, but you can certainly use coconut milk. Just keep it mind it will be much lighter in consistency and flavour 🙂
Hello looks like a great recipe, I work in Calgary Alberta and there is an abundant of Vietnamese restaurants here. I love satay soup…
Just curious on how you get the peanut flavour in your soup?
Thanks
Hi Philip! We get the peanut flavour using satay sauce, which has peanuts in it 😀
Do you use the Sate Chili Sauce? its listed at the top but not in the recipe directions.
I did use the sate chili sauce and thanks for pointing that out! I have updated the recipe directions to include it 😀
I remember eating this yummy beef satay noodle soup on my Dad’s family side. So excited that I can make this at home. Thank you so much!
What wonderful memories, Kim! I hope you enjoy making and eating it at home. You’re most welcome!
Can this be made using beef stock or pho?
Hi, Sara! I wouldn’t recommend it because the flavors will be quite strong for this dish. If you want to have a beefier flavor, then you can stick to the beef stock. Otherwise a chicken and pork stock will do.
