This hearty beef barley soup uses a simple blend of mirepoix, broth and steak to make a filling soup with basic ingredients.
Ingredients
Instructions
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Brown beef on all sides. Drain excess liquid before continuing. Editor's Tip: Browning the beef adds a caramelized flavor to the whole pot of soup. If you want to use mirepoix instead of adding the chopped veggies later, simmer the carrots, onion and celery during this step too.
Stir in the broth, water, barley, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for one hour.
Add the carrots, celery, onion and parsley. Cover and simmer until the meat and vegetables are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir in the peas and simmer until heated through.
