Hello everyone! This week I made one of my winter favorites: Beef Barley Soup. I came across the recipe and it just sounded so delicious, I had to give it a try. I would say this one was the second easiest recipe I have made so far (after last week's "wonton" soup," and for such a simple recipe, it is so incredibly tasty. You would never guess how easy it is by the taste of it. I had a "cringe-worthy" moment while making this recipe. I went a little crazy with the barley. When I put in the listed 1/2 cup of barley in the soup, it looked like so little. So I added a little more. Little did I know (which seems various obvious) that the barley would completely absorb the liquid. I was getting way too over-confident with the soup recipes, and that set me back a couple notches. Luckily the soup was salvaged. All was well, in the end. I'm sure none of you will make the mistake I did, but just in case, I had to be fully up front about this little snafu. Clearly a rookie mistake. Browning the meat worked well in the pot! Love this blend of vegetables. So many pretty colors! Ingredients1 tsp oil
Cliff Notes Version of Recipe1.) Brown meat in pot 2.) Add carrots, onion, celery, and garlic 3.) Add water 4.) Bring to boil 5.) Reduce to simmer for 1-1/2 hours 6.) Add barley 7.) Simmer for additional 30-35 minutes This recipe made a good amount of soup- and I think it would be great to freeze for eating later!
