How To Make beef barley soup

  • Step 1
    In a large fry pan, brown the little pieces of beef in a bit of oil. Don't crowd the pan, do in two batches. Drain and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a stock pot mix the beef stock with the chopped Italian Stewed tomatoes. Add the onions, garlic, rosemary, parsley, and the browned beef. Season with some salt and pepper.
  • Step 3
    Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour. Then add the carrots and celery, and continue simmering for an additional hour.
  • Step 4
    While the soup is simmering, in a separate pot, prepare the barley according to package directions. When the beef and the vegetables are tender, after simmering time, stir in the cooked barley. Add additional salt if needed.
  • Step 5
    Serve and enjoy!
