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.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs beef chuck, cubed
4 teaspoons beef base
1 (12 ounce) bag frozen chopped onions
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Tips:

- Choose high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for cuts that are well-marbled, as this will help to keep the meat moist and tender during cooking. - If you don't have pearl barley on hand, you can substitute another type of barley, such as hulled barley or quick-cooking barley. 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.
