thanks for the recipe, will have to try the better than bouillon, I've never had it. This soup looks good, this is one of my favorite soups also and I absolutely love barley ! It gives soup a new dimension of flavor !
Thank you Noreen for the recipe! Did you know that barley is the number one food linked to longevity in Sardinia Italy 🇮🇹? It is one of the 5 Blue zones, where there are the most centuratians. Fun fact!
You Love to cook and make your loved one's happy. Excellent job on the Beef barley soup.Keep iy up and 1 day when Martha gets tired og cooking she will have you on her show as a stand in Home Chef.You also explain every detail of the recipe in detail-GOOD LUCK-GOD BLESS
Looks so delicious.!! Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to make some. I am also going to try some of that "Better than Bouillon" I have always wanted to try it and I don't care for the cubed kind.
Noreen, that looks absolutely divine!! Love beef barley soup...it's one of my favorites too, but I have never made it.... I will definitely make it sometime this weekend. I don't use a slow cooker, so I'll be making mine on stove top... Thanks for your recipe. can't wait to make mine!!!
The Veg Beef Barley soup looks amazing! Yummy, comfort food for this Artic Air Mass we r hiding from in NoNJ. Love yur Vids, all yur recipes are mouthwatering and fantastic!
Noreen that beef barley soup looks amazing. My sister would make a beef barley that was to die for but when she moved I couldn't have it any more. Now I can!!!! I would love to know how to use barley in other dishes. Thank you!
This is a perfect pantry meal. I have all this that I've canned. You better believe I'm going to make this weekend. I love that we can just go to your website and print your recipes. Thank you for sharing!
I enjoy watching you cook. You did a video and was using Magic Mix.. Would you show how to make it and all its uses....And what is the Brand of your mixer I saw when you open the box and are you liking it.. Thanks in advance
I have done a video on how to make magic mix ad well as a couple of videos on how to use it. Please do a search on my channel page to find what you are looking for. I use a Bosch Universal Kitchen Machine mixer. Hope you liked this soup video.
Thank you Noreen! I learned how to make a homemade beef and barley soup from your recipe that I can enjoy AND that reminds me of the Campbell's Vegetable Beef soup I loved in my childhood. Yum! I did try your recipe as shown in the video, but I decided I didn't like the diced tomatoes, onions, salary, or mushrooms, and I would prefer peas and potatoes added instead. With those adjustments, I've found a keeper of a great recipe. Thanks for bringing beautiful barley back into my diet.
I would have tossed all this into my pressure cooker, (I guess these days folks use them Instapot things) 35-45 minutes we would be eating yummo soup. Slow cooker works too I guess. It just takes 6-8 hours.
It looks amazing. I'm not a fan of mushrooms, is there anything we can/should replace the mushrooms with? Leaving them out is fine but I'm always concerned it's an intended base
This morning I saw the Beef and Barley soup recipe. since I live in North Carolina like you. I agree. cold! I jumped up from my coffee, got ingredients together and put the soup on to cook. We had it for dinner tonight with crusty Italian bread and it was so delicious!!! Thank you!!!!
Tasty - you're right, the barley is an ideal cereal for this soup blend! A low sodium salt, with more potassium chloride than sodium chloride (Lo-Salt) makes a healthy alternative. to regular (kosher) salt
I hear a kitty in the background! Can you show us your kitty?? I have seen your dogs. I like to see animals in the house, they are part of the family. And they always know when Mamma is cooking!!
I love that you call your grandma Nanny. That was what we called our grandma too. Brings warm memories. Thanks for sharing your recipe! will dehydrated mushrooms plump and soften when slow cooked? Mine always seem to be tough, even after soaking them.
I am making this in a few minutes. I have all the ingredients at hand. I love Better than Bouillon and have many of their flavors. thanks for the idea...I'll serve with some buttered Italian bread toast on the side.
Noreen, I agree that Better Than Bouillon is the best for any of the flavors and I do not get paid for advertising either. I love your recipes. Thanks so much.. May the Lord God bless you!
I just had a cambells chunky canned soup( hearty beef barley) for lunch at work and it was delicious. But while eating I decided to look at this video. Boy oh boy do I want a bowl of that.!
hi.. im going to make your soup.. im reading on the barley pack that i need to soak them over night.. do i have the wrong kind of barley or will i just ignore what it says on the package...
+vo1um1 You don't have to cook the barley first. It cooks in the soup. You can ignore the directions for cooking. It should take about an hour to cook pearled barley. If you have non pearled barley, then you may indeed have to soak it.
Hey everyone, I made this last night and it was incredible! So much flavor! The only thing I did differently was brown the meat, but who knows how much difference it made. Definitely recommend. So easy, too!
When you say "1 1/2 cups pearl barley (Not quick Barley)" - can I use Quick Barley if I make it in a pot on the stove, instead of a slow cooker? or does quick barley not taste right?
+TheSUPERHAPPY1 I do not recommend quick barley because it is highly processed and devoid of nutrition. It has been cooked, drained and dried before putting it in the box. It is quick because it has been pre-cooked. I still recommend you use regular pearl barley even if you do make this on top of the stove.
