How to Make Beef Barley Soup
Start by using a large soup pan, melt the butter on medium heat, add the diced celery and onions. Cook the celery and onion until it starts to get tender. Stir to combine as the vegetables cook.
Add the stew beef along with the seasoned salt and pepper to the pot with the cooked celery and onions. Continue stirring every couple of minutes until beef is browned.
Then add the minced garlic and the sliced carrots to the pot sautéing all together.
The last ingredients to add to the soup is the broth and the pearl barley. Simmer the soup till everything is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking on the bottom of the pan.
Don’t like barley?
Just leave the dry barley out of the recipe to give you a beef vegetable soup. I will make this recipe without barley just to switch up a bit every now and then!
Do you have leftover soup Beef Barley Soup?
This soup freezes great! I portion out single serving size into freezable container leaving a little room at the top for expansion.
When I get hungry for a bowl of soup, I just pull a container from the freezer and let thaw or just pop into the microwave. You can also warm up on the stove in a small pan. Enjoy this recipe and share with all your family and friends!
