CREAMY BEEF MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP IN A SLOW COOKER
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.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef for the best flavor.

However, be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. - To add more depth of flavor to the soup, use a variety of mushrooms. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms. - If you want a thicker soup, add more barley or cornstarch. Alternatively, you can puree some of the soup in a blender and then stir it back into the pot. - Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.Conclusion:
