Beef Barley Soup
Warm and Inviting
This satisfying Beef Barley Soup tastes so good when it’s chilly outside. I just can’t get enough soup this time of the year and I enjoy trying different hearty meals.
This soup is so easy to make. Just fill up your crock pot, go shovel some snow and come back inside and warm up to this great soup. To add extra flavor to this dish, just sauté the meat and vegetables first and deglaze the pan with a little red wine before putting everything in the crock pot. Make sure you buy some crusty Italian bread you’ll be able to soak up all that delicious broth. This hearty Beef Barley Soup is sure to become a favorite in your home.
