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.

Most vegetable-beef-barley soups are bland soups to help people that are ill, but I like vegetable-beef-barley soup to have more flavor, so I have worked at making this one have more flavor and more veggies then most. When I make this soup, I make my family a nice loaf of bread to serve them with it, plus I also give them a nice chunk of cheese. I also fix a light dessert or slice up some fruit.

CROCK POT BEEF BARLEY SOUP

This is a really easy and good soup. Add more beef broth if looking for a very beefy taste and thicken up with cornstarch & beef broth. My family just loves this dish and ask for it frequently. The main thing to remember is to NOT STIR the soup until close to the end of cooking time.

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.

I tinkered with a few recipes and came up with this one. I have tinkered with this recipe and added celery once and leeks another time, for me all it did was add to the chunkiness, not the flavor; but that's really up to your preference.

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 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:

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.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP



Slow-Cooker Beef and Barley Soup image

This recipe is inspired by the beef, leek and barley soup in "Home Cooking" (Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2010), a memoir and cookbook by Laurie Colwin. It defies what you're told you must do to make an exceptional soup: Brown your meat, add ingredients in layers, and taste as you go. Instead, just chop a few vegetables, put everything in a pot - or in this case, a slow cooker - then forget about it. This recipe builds satisfying, hearty flavors in a few key ways: The small quantity of dried mushrooms not only nods to mushroom-barley soup, but also creates an umami backdrop. Opt for chicken stock instead of beef, which is more consistently flavorful across brands. Use a collagen-rich cut of meat, like chuck or short ribs. And last, a long cook time allows flavors to deepen, without any babysitting.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 8h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces, or 2 to 3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs (3 to 4); see Tip
1 quart chicken stock
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/2-inch-thick
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup pearl barley
2 fresh thyme sprigs or 2 dried bay leaves
1/2 ounce dried porcini, crushed or chopped into small pieces
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or lemon juice, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In a 5-to-8-quart slow cooker, add the beef, stock, carrots, onion, barley, thyme, porcini, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 2 cups water. Stir to combine, cover and cook on low until the meat shreds when pulled with two forks, 6 to 8 hours.
  • If your soup has fat on the surface, skim it with a spoon. (The amount will vary, depending on your cut of meat.) Remove and discard the thyme. If using chuck, shred the meat using two forks right in the pot; if using short ribs, transfer to a cutting board and pull the meat away from the bones. Remove any excess fat and cartilage, then chop and shred the meat and return it to the slow cooker. Stir in the vinegar. If the flavors taste muted, add salt and vinegar. If it's too mild, add more black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beef broth as the base of your soup. This will give the soup a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the soup. This will help to develop the beef's flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your soup. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients.
  • Cook the soup on low heat for a long period of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a crusty bread roll.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot beef barley mushroom soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
