CROCK POT BEEF BARLEY SOUP



Crock Pot Beef Barley Soup image

This is a really easy and good soup. Add more beef broth if looking for a very beefy taste and thicken up with cornstarch & beef broth. My family just loves this dish and ask for it frequently. The main thing to remember is to NOT STIR the soup until close to the end of cooking time.

WEIGHT WATCHERS CROCK POT BEEF,BARLEY AND ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP



Weight Watchers Crock Pot Beef,barley and Root Vegetable Soup image

2 1/3 cup = 5 points. From WW Slow Good Cookbook. If refrigerated for more than a day, barley may absorb some liquid. You can add broth or water when reheated. The soup has enough flavor so it will not dilute the taste. You can sub celeriac and rutabaga in the veggie mix- Just keep the broth to root veggie ratio about the same.

CROCK POT BEEF BARLEY MUSHROOM SOUP



Crock Pot Beef Barley Mushroom Soup image

I copied this recipe from one of Gordon Ramsay's cookbooks. I really enjoyed this. I chopped the mushroom finely in my food processor as my DD will not eat mushroom unless they are pulverized and there are a lot of mushrooms in this recipe. You can do all the prep the night before, then just throw everything in the crockpot before going to work and come back to a nice batch of soup. Prep Time includes soaking of dehydrated mushrooms.
