Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds beef shoulder, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 small yellow onions, peeled and chopped
3 cups Homemade Beef Stock
1 bouquet garni of rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf
3/4 cup pearl barley

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to serve. It's also a great soup to freeze. I like to freeze it in individual containers so I can easily grab a bowl of soup for lunch or dinner.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beef. I usually make a pot roast on Sunday and then use the leftovers to make this soup on Monday. It's a great way to get a second meal out of the same ingredients.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but I really enjoyed this soup. The barley was cooked perfectly and it didn't have that chewy texture that I usually find off-putting. The soup was also very flavorful and filling.
