My Favorite Beef and Barley Soup of All Time!
Here are the ingredients: * 1 pound of boneless chuck roast that has been cut and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces 2 tablespoons of beef base (not the same as beef broth, but used to make beef broth), 8 to 10 cups of water, 1 large bay leaf, 1 cup of uncooked pearl barley, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of garlic. 1 1/2 cups of thinly sliced carrots, celery, and onion. 8 ounces of pre-sliced mushrooms.
Instructions
Begin by browning the meat in a nonstick fry pan, turning often.
Once the steak is taken out of the pan, transfer it to the crockpot. Toss in the mushrooms, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic with the water, beef broth, bay leaf, and garlic.
Third, simmer the meat and vegetables for another hour on high heat. After that, add the pearl barley and lower the heat to low. Combine the salt, pepper, and spices.
Set aside the bay leaf.
