BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP III



Beef and Barley Soup III image

This is what I consider the ultimate beef soup. Great on a frosty day. For beef stock, I use 2 1/2 quarts water and 6 teaspoons beef base. Also, use inexpensive red wine. No need for the good stuff here, and cheaper actually works better! Try with leftover pot roast.

Tips:

  • Choose the right barley: Hulled barley is the most common type used in soups, and it has a chewy texture. Pearl barley is more refined and has a milder flavor.
  • Soak the barley before cooking: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the barley more tender. Soaking the barley overnight is ideal, but you can also soak it for as little as 30 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and turnips.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the soup: This will help to develop the flavor and give the soup a richer color.
  • Use a good quality beef broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. If you don't have any beef broth on hand, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot: This is the best way to enjoy it! Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Cubed beef and barley soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that your family and friends will love.
