Comforting Beef Barley Soup
When the weather outside is nippy, we want a bowl of soup that’s chock-full of beef, barley and veggies. It's the most delicious way to warm up. —Sue Jurack, Mequon, Wisconsin

Reviews
We love homemade soup, especially in the winter, but we all found this to be tasteless.
Hearty soup that the whole family liked. Although the amount of barley might seem small initially, remember that barley expands quick a bit when cooked. We added more peas and used leftover pot roast (plus a little leftover gravy to add flavor.)
Absolutely delicious. Will make again. Easy and filling for a cold February day.
Perhaps I'm just not a fan of beef soups. This recipe lacked flavor.
was this salty tasting? I will use low sodium beef broth if so.
This soup gets five stars and more! It is truly delicious and comforting. My husband, son and I all took a spoonful and said, "Mmmmmmum!" with every bite. I made it right by the recipe. We will have this one again and again.
I forgot the tomatoes but it was very good!
I made this and quadrupled the ingredients for a soup supper. Everyone wanted the recipe the next day. Very flavorful.
So Good! I used the Homemade Beef Broth recipe from this site, which made it even better.
Perfect! Filling, tasty, and healthy. That, my friends, is a soup trifecta.
