November 10, 2011

Beef Barley Soup

Beef Barley Soup

Mama’s Beef Barley Soup is a perfect way to warm a cold winter day. It is easy to make, thick, warm, and delicious. My family loves this recipe, it warms the body and the heart.

Ingredients for Mama’s Beef Barley Soup:

a large stock pot or dutch oven

2 tablespoons of canola oil

1 pound carrots, chopped

2 medium onions, chopped

5 cloves of garlic, minced

28 ounces canned beef (I get mine from a local meat market or butcher or you can can your own)

32 ounces beef broth

2 teaspoons of salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

8 ounces of rinsed Pearled Barley

4 cups water

Instructions for Mama’s Beef Barley Soup:

In your large stock pot or dutch oven, add olive oil and heat over medium heat, til just warm.  Then, add carrots and onions and saute until carrots start to soften and onions are slightly translucent.  Next, add the garlic, saute until tender.

Add the canned beef and break it apart in the pan with a spatula or spoon, while combining it with the vegetables.  Then add the beef broth, salt, and pepper. Add the Pearled Barley and water and stir.

Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until barley and vegetables are tender.  Remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes, then serve.
