Beef and barley soup
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef stew meat cubed
- 1 cup pearl barley
- 1 onion diced
- 2 carrots diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 6 cups beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Return the beef to the pot and add the barley, beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the barley is cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
