Hearty Beef With Barley Soup image

Easy to prepare, this beef with barley stew is delicious on a cold night. It's savory but carrots add a bit of sweetness to the soup. The stew meat becomes fork-tender. This is filling, delicious, and super satisfying.

  • 4. Ladle into your favorite soup bowl and enjoy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

I substituted chicken broth for beef broth and it turned out great. This soup is very versatile and can be easily adapted to your own taste.

This soup was very time-consuming to make. It took me over 2 hours to get it on the table.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but I really enjoyed this soup. The barley was cooked perfectly and it didn't have a strong flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beef. It's also very affordable to make. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add extra salt and pepper to give it some flavor.

I've tried many beef and barley soup recipes, but this one is by far the best. The barley gives it a nice chewy texture and the beef is fall-apart tender. Will definitely be making this again!

This soup was incredibly easy to make and had a rich, hearty flavor. I used leftover beef from a roast and it turned out perfect. Definitely a keeper!
