BEEF, BARLEY AND MANY VEGETABLE SOUP



Beef, Barley and Many Vegetable Soup image

On one hand there is beef barley soup, and on the other there's mushroom barley soup, but why choose between the two when you can have both in one soup? Heck, why not add a bunch of other vegetables-carrots, celery, tomatoes, and chard or spinach-to the mix for even more color, flavor, and nutrition? And how about a handful of fresh dill for an earthy herbal essence? It's that kind of thinking that led me right to this wonderful, filling, meal-in-a-bowl with tender beef in every bite balanced with a bounty of whole-grain, plant-powered goodness.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces lean beef stew meat, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large onion, diced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, coarsely chopped
2 medium-size carrots, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
One 14-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1/2 cup pearled barley
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill

Steps:

SAUSAGE BARLEY SOUP



Sausage Barley Soup image

This is a nice soup recipe with a lot of texture and flavor. It is a welcome change for those weeks when there doesn't seem to be a lot of variety... and all 3 of my kids even loved it. This can also be cooked in a pan on the stove until the barley and carrot are tender, but I prefer the slow cooker method. The flavors seem to blend better.

¼ cup uncooked pearl barley

Tips:

  • Choose lean ground beef: Opt for ground beef with a lower fat content, such as 90% lean, to reduce the overall fat and calories in the soup.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just spinach - try adding other vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, or zucchini for a more flavorful and nutritious soup.
  • Don't overcook the barley: Barley should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooking can make it mushy.
  • Season to taste: Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: Ground beef, spinach, and barley soup is a hearty and filling meal on its own, but it can also be served with a side of bread or crackers for a more complete meal.
