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.

I added a dollop of sour cream to my bowl of soup, and it was amazing. The sour cream added a nice tanginess that really complemented the beef and barley.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. I had some mushrooms that were starting to go bad, and this soup was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth and tofu instead of beef. It was still delicious!

I'm gluten-free, so I used gluten-free barley in this soup. It turned out great!

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the beef and barley, and they didn't even notice the mushrooms.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but I really enjoyed this soup. The barley added a nice texture and didn't overpower the other flavors.

This soup is even better the next day. The flavors have time to meld together, and the beef becomes even more tender.

I used leftover steak to make this soup, and it was delicious. The steak added a lot of flavor to the broth.
