BEEF MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP



Beef Mushroom Barley Soup image

Family favorite. It kind of turns into a type of stew as the barley soaks up much of the beef stock. Best part is that it gets better with age, so make plenty and enjoy throughout the week! It's always better the second day, so you might want to cook it one day, refrigerate it overnight, and then cook it again the next day.

Time 3h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon canola oil
One 1- 1/4 to 1-1/2 pounds beef shin on the bone, trimmed of excess fat
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 carrot, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 rib celery, diced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
6 cups water
1/3 cup pearl barley, rinsed
1 cup chopped canned tomato
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 pound medium-sized button mushrooms, brushed, trimmed, and quartered
3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat on all sides until well browned; this will take about 15 minutes. Set the meat aside and wipe the pan out with a paper towel. Lower the heat to medium, add the oil to the pan. Add the carrot, onion, and celery to the pan and saute until tender, about 10 minutes. Return the meat to the pan with the water. Bring to a boil, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is just tender. Add the thyme, barley, and tomato, continue to simmer the soup, covered, for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat, add the mushrooms and saute until golden, about 10 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste, and add them to the soup, and simmer for 15 minutes more. Remove the meat from the soup; cut the meat from the bone and dice. Skim any fat from the surface of the soup with a ladle or large spoon. Return the meat to the soup with the parsley. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in warm bowls.

CROCK POT BEEF BARLEY MUSHROOM SOUP



Crock Pot Beef Barley Mushroom Soup image

I copied this recipe from one of Gordon Ramsay's cookbooks. I really enjoyed this. I chopped the mushroom finely in my food processor as my DD will not eat mushroom unless they are pulverized and there are a lot of mushrooms in this recipe. You can do all the prep the night before, then just throw everything in the crockpot before going to work and come back to a nice batch of soup. Prep Time includes soaking of dehydrated mushrooms.

CREAMY BEEF MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP IN A SLOW COOKER



Creamy Beef Mushroom Barley Soup in a Slow Cooker image

A wintertime comfort food at its best. I cook for 8 people with big appetites, so halve this recipe for a smaller group. If you like green bean casserole, try adding green beans and some fried onions on top for a tasty twist. Remember, homemade broth has the best flavor, but you can substitute store-bought or chicken or turkey broth.
