Introduction

I’ve been all about the soup here lately, with the weather starting to cool and the leaves beginning to turn outside my window as I type.

Making a big pot of soup on Sunday that I can heat up for lunch or dinner throughout the week is a way for me to make some extra time for myself in the midst of a chaotic schedule.

And filling that soup with vegetables and grains? No brainer.

This Beef and Barley soup is rich and tasty with tender pieces of beef and hearty vegetables in a delicious savoury broth.

It’s the perfect dish to curl up in a chair and eat while you watch the rain fall outside.

The recipe

Ingredients

1 kg casserole beef
Salt and pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 tsp minced garlic
2 large carrots, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
2 beef stock cubes
8 cups beef stock
420 gram tin crushed tomatoes
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 cups sliced mushrooms
3 large potatoes, unpeeled and cut into chunks
1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 Tbsp rosemary, chopped
1 cup pearl barley
½ cup chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1
Cut the casserole beef into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a soup pot (this makes a big batch of soup, so don’t go small)
Step 4
Brown the beef in batches and remove when done.
Step 5
Add the onions and garlic and cook over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes or until translucent, then add the celery and carrot.
Step 6
Cook until the vegetables just start to soften, approx 5 min.
Step 7
Pour the beef stock in and add the stock cubes, Worcestershire sauce and the tinned tomatoes.
Step 8
Return the beef to the pot, along with the mushrooms, potato chunks and the fresh herbs.
Step 9
Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Step 10
After an hour, add the pearl barley and cook for a further 30 min, until the barley has softened.
Step 11
Stir the parsley through and serve with crusty bread.
