CREAMY BEEF MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP IN A SLOW COOKER

A wintertime comfort food at its best. I cook for 8 people with big appetites, so halve this recipe for a smaller group. If you like green bean casserole, try adding green beans and some fried onions on top for a tasty twist. Remember, homemade broth has the best flavor, but you can substitute store-bought or chicken or turkey broth.

Categories     Grains

Time 5h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs beef chuck, cubed
4 teaspoons beef base
1 (12 ounce) bag frozen chopped onions
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup pearl barley
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
5 cups water

Steps:

  • In slow cooker, combine all ingredients.
  • Cover and cook on low setting for 5-6 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to brown them and bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality beef broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you can, use homemade beef broth.
  • Don't overcook the barley. Barley should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of bite to it. Overcooked barley will be mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker beef mushroom barley soup is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
