Beef noodle soup is a noodle soup made of stewed or braised beef, beef broth, vegetables and noodles. It exists in various forms throughout East and Southeast Asia.

One of the oldest beef noodle soups is the Lanzhou lamian (蘭州拉麵) or Lanzhou beef noodle soup which was created by the Hui people of northwest China during the Tang dynasty.[1][2] There are numerous beef noodle soups available in China with a higher variety in the west than the east.[citation needed]

Another common variety is the red-braised beef noodle soup (紅燒牛肉麵) from Taiwan, which was first created by Sichuanese Kuomintang veterans;[3][4] it is commonly known as Taiwanese beef noodle soup in English.

Other beef noodle soup varietals include Pho from Vietnam.
