I recently had a good friends beef barley soup and thought it was wonderful! This is my version with a few adjustments based on my families preferences and the need for a quicker and easier soup. Ingredients:
2 quarts beef stock or 2 quarts broth |
1 cup diced carrot |
1 cup diced celery |
1 cup diced onion |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
2 cups cooked pearl barley |
1 teaspoon oregano |
1 teaspoon basil |
2 bay leaves |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
salt, optional (to taste) |
1 lb beef, already cooked (ground, shredded or chopped) |
2 (16 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes or 1 quart tomato juice |
Directions:
1. In stock pot or favorite soup pot add all ingredients (except barley). Bring to a boil, reduce and simmer 45 minutes. Add barley and simmer another 15 minutes.
