Have you ever had homemade Beef Barley Soup?

You know that Fall is here when you start to crave some good old Homemade soup.  To be honest, I love Soup so much that I eat it throughout the year. However, throughout the Fall and Winter, when the temperature drops I really crave homemade soups.

One of my favorite homemade soups is Beef Barley. It is easy to make and it is incredibly savory and hearty. It is also one of my husband's favorite homemade soups as well.

I love the smells that permeate the home as this soup cooks on the stove. By the time it is done my mouth is always watering in anticipation of tasting it. Seriously, this soup is soo good I usually have to make a double batch because it goes so fast and I like to be able to have some leftovers for lunch the next day.

Yield: 8 Hearty Servings

This hearty Beef Barley Soup is the perfect dinner soup for those colder Fall and Winter months. It's easy to make and very savory.

Instructions

  • Sautee cubed beef, barley, onions, and celery in a pan until beef is browned and vegetables are tender.

    • Notes

    **Side note: If you don't have a beef roast you can substitute it with ground beef which tastes just as good.

    Because this soup has potatoes and barley which tend to absorb the soup liquid when I reheat it the next day I always add a bit more water to my bowl and a dash or two of salt and then it reheats to that perfect savory soup I love.

    7. Love beef barley soup. My grandmother made the best beef stew & she would sometimes put barley in it. I put it in mine. No stewed tomatoes though. With the leftovers, if there were any, she would put in a pie plate & a crust on top. Beef pie. I put ketchup on it when I eat it. Love this as much as the stew. Now if I only could find some organic boullions! I make everything from scratch to avoid all those chemicals in food!
