Equipment
- Large pot
- Colander
- Chopping board and Knife
- Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot: I love my Le Creuset Dutch Oven and probably use it more than any other kitchen item!
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- Mushrooms: I prefer using baby bella mushrooms for this recipe but it will also work with white button mushrooms.
- Onion: I prefer to use a yellow onion, but red or white will work as well.
- Garlic
- Olive Oil
- Old Fashioned Egg Noodles: So while you definitely can use the wide, wavy egg noodles, I definitely recommend going for the traditional old fashioned style. I love using Mrs Miller's Old Fashioned Egg Noodles, which you can find at most grocery stores or on Amazon fresh.
- Paprikash Seasoning: I really like using Yep!Shake Paprikash Seasoning for this recipe. If you don't have any available see the note below for a substitution.
- Fresh Thyme
- Butter
- All-Purpose Flour
- Vegetable Broth: You can also use chicken broth if you aren't strictly vegetarian. Mushroom broth would work as well.
- Worcestershire Sauce: I like Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, but your preferred brand will do!
- Sour Cream: When it comes to dairy products I am always a fan of using real, full fat ingredients. If you prefer to go skim or low fat that will work as well.
Can I make this vegan?
Yes! I recently had a friend tell me that she was able to make this recipe vegan by replacing the egg noodles with egg-free wide noodles and using Kite Hill Sour Cream alternative and Annie's Organic Worcestershire Sauce .
Tips & Tricks
Don't Overcook the Noodles. I recommend cooking the noodles just before al dente. That's usually around 1-2 minutes less than the package instructions.
The noodles will continue to cook a little after you add them to the sauce so best to err on the side of al dente to avoid mushy noodles.

Wow! This looks so delicious! 🙂
Thank you! â¤ï¸
Worcestershire sauce is rarely vegetarian. It contains anchovies.
Vegan and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce is pretty easily available. You can use whatever you feel most comfortable with.
This was awesome! My kids of course picked out the mushrooms, but it was overall fantastic. I had not used paprikish before this, and really enjoyed it.
We have always been big stroganoff fans, but it is now so lovely to have a vegetarian option for the whole family to enjoy. Full of delicious flavours - we will be making again for sure.
This is such an easy weeknight dinner!
This was delicious! My family loved it. Definitely going to be on rotation in my house.
This looks really hearty and stick to your ribs! I bet you don't even miss the meat here!
Such a great dinner for any night of the week. Total comfort food!
So delicious - perfect as a weeknight dinner!
Yum! This recipe is sooo delicious! I just made the vegan version using Annie's Organic Worcestershire sauce and Forager cashew yogurt. I also swapped out mushrooms for chickpeas and kale to accommodate my daughter's mushroom aversion. Super tasty!!!
Sounds delicious! So glad you enjoyed!
