Beef Barley Soup

Print Recipe

A comforting and hearty Beef Barley Soup perfect for cold evenings, blending tender beef with nutty barley and vibrant vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef stew meat
  • 1 cup barley
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Pat the beef stew meat dry and season with salt and pepper. Add to the pot and brown for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.
  2. Once browned, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the diced carrots and celery. Let these cook together for another 5 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften a bit and absorb the savory flavors.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and add the thyme and barley. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 60 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the barley is plump and chewy.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving. Enjoy this warming dish on a chilly night or as a hearty lunch option!

Notes

This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months. For best results, cool completely before freezing in airtight containers.
