Hearty Beef and Barley Soup

Recipe Archive· Soup

Beef Barley Soup Crockpot

Hearty Beef and Barley Soup. This soup can be made in the crock pot and left to simmer throughout the day while you go about your business. It is very hearty and chuck full of good veggies, barley grains and chunks of the most tender beef you will ever taste. All you need for a complete meal is a salad and a good chunk of bread to dunk in your soup. The kids will love it with a cold glass of milk. The adults can have a nice bottle of wine chilling for after dinner!

More comfort and goodness can be found at White Bean Chicken Chili and Creamy Ham Chowder.

    Hummm I have never made a barley soup and as I comb my memories, I don’t remember my mama making it either. She always made homemade vegetable or chicken noodle. It looks delicious and hearty. I may give it a try.

      I hope you enjoy it. It is full of the barley and beef and veggies. I always tell my husband to use a fork. If you decide to give it a try let me know! Happy Thanksgiving!

    This reminds me of my childhood – playing outside on a cold day and mom making beef barley soup for lunch. (she used Campbell’s though). Great recipe Marilyn. Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. I hope your Thanksgiving is full of blessings.

      That is so funny. My mom used Campbells too. I hated the store brand. What memories. Beef Barley and grilled cheese. Mmm. Happy Thanksgiving!
