Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound stew beef, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium-size yellow onion, coarsely chopped
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch coins
1 medium garlic clove, finely minced
6 cups Rich Beef Stock or low-sodium canned beef broth
1/4 cup barley, rinsed
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme
Parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a 6-quart soup pot, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meat and brown evenly, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining oil and the onion and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes, scraping the pot to loosen any brown bits.
  • Add the carrots and garlic and sweat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 cup of stock and scrape the bottom of the pot. Add the remaining stock, the meat, barley, and thyme and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, skimming the pot occasionally, until the barley is cooked and the meat is tender, about 50 minutes.
  • Ladle into deep bowls and serve, garnished with parsley.

BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP III



Beef and Barley Soup III image

This is what I consider the ultimate beef soup. Great on a frosty day. For beef stock, I use 2 1/2 quarts water and 6 teaspoons beef base. Also, use inexpensive red wine. No need for the good stuff here, and cheaper actually works better! Try with leftover pot roast.

BEEF, MUSHROOM AND BARLEY SOUP



Beef, Mushroom and Barley Soup image

A very hearty, rich soup/stew. Cobbled together from several other similar recipes, with my own flair. I dislike eating celery, but like the flavor, so this is written to discard the celery. If you want to leave it in, you can dice the celery instead.

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.
