BEST BEEF BARLEY SOUP



Best Beef Barley Soup image

This is one of my favourite recipes for leftover roast beef - its delicious on a cold winter night!!If you don't have leftover beef, substitute with 1 lb of extra-lean ground beef, to be cooked with the onions. "Demi glace" or "au jus" can be found with the prepackaged gravies & sauces in the supermarket - you just won't get the same great flavour if you omit it!!

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.

LEFTOVER ROAST - BEEF BARLEY SOUP



Leftover Roast - Beef Barley Soup image

I clipped this recipe year's ago and adapted it to use my leftover beef roast and steaks. Just chop up any leftover beef, throw it in a freezer bag and store until you have enough to make the soup. Also, save your leftover broth. It really makes the soup rich and flavorful. Great for a cold winter day!

BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP I



Beef and Barley Soup I image

We are remodeling the kitchen and getting very hungry for food again so I got out the slow cooker and made this soup. It's perfect when you do not have a lot of time. Since you can get soup bones that contain little fat, this soup is nearly fat-free. When the soup is cooled there is no visible fat at the surface.

GRANDPA'S BEEF, MUSHROOM, AND BARLEY SOUP



Grandpa's Beef, Mushroom, and Barley Soup image

I miss my Grandparents dearly. Grandpa loved to cook while Grandma knitted on the sofa. This helps brings them back to me. This recipe was one of my favorites growing up. It's an old-fashioned, slow-cooking, lick-the-bowl, stick-to-your-ribs type of soup. The family loves it. It's traditional at holiday time with a nice slice of rye bread to dip in it.

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.
