I've been using this recipe since my penny-pinching newlywed days back in the 70's. Its inexpensive, hearty, easy and delicious. If you don't eat beef, substitute ground turkey, and you will still have a satisfying meal. Like most soups, its better the next day, but don't expect it to last much longer than that.

Categories     Chowders

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1 onions, yellow, medium
4 - 5 celery stalks
3 potatoes medium russets cubed
1 lb carrots, peeled & cubed
1 can(s) diced tomatoes (28 oz)
3/4 c barley (not instant or quick cooking)
2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tsp pepper
2 can(s) water

Steps:

  • 1. Dice onion and celery (not too small this is a chunky chowder) and add to a dutch oven with the ground beef (or ground turkey). Cook on high heat to brown meat & sweat veggies. I use 80/20 burger so there is no need to drain, if you do drain, you will lose a lot of flavor.
  • 2. Dice carrots & unpeeled potatoes, (again not too small)and add to pot when the meat is cooked through.
  • 3. Add the canned tomatoes plus 2 cans of water, salt, pepper & barley. Give mixture a good stir & cover. Leave heat on high until mixture starts to boil. Then reduce heat so the chowder stays at a simmer. Cook for approximately 1 hour stirring occasionally. When the potatoes, carrots & barley are cooked, the chowder is done.
  • 4. The longer the chowder cooks, the better it tastes. You can hold it on very low heat, but be careful that the chowder doesn't scorch on the bottom.

I'm not a big fan of cheese, but I love this chowder. The cheese is not overpowering and it gives the chowder a nice creamy texture.

I added a can of diced tomatoes to this chowder and it gave it a nice tangy flavor. I also used sharp cheddar cheese instead of mild cheddar and it gave the chowder a nice kick.
