Crock Pot Beef Barley Soup

A comforting bowl of Beef Barley Soup made in the Crock Pot is loaded with tender beef, lots of veggies, and soft chewy barley. It can be made on the stove or slow cooker and freezes well.

Another souper easy soup.. Get it souper... Ha..Ha.. I crack myself up...

I've been falling in love with my crock pot these last few months and this Crockpot Beef Vegetable Barley Soup is another winner, winner beef dinner.

Alright I better stop with my corny jokes..

The weather's still showing no signs of spring so I'm sticking to comfort food until I can climb out of hibernation. 

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.. Sunshine in my eyes makes me cry.. Sunshine on the water looks so lovely.. I'm pretty sure I really miss the sunshine...

Sorry about that I'm totally having sunshine withdrawals, and the short days leaves me a limited amount of time to take decent looking photos of food.

I just keep telling myself 2 more months and we will hopefully be back to 60 degrees days on occasion. 

I'm hopeful my back will finally be closer to normal so I can be up to my elbows in dirt planting lettuce, broccoli, sweet peas and lots of zucchini. Oh how I miss thee....

Anyways here's how I make Crockpot Beef Vegetable Barley Soup:

I used fresh thyme and rosemary because I happened to have some left over from Christmas but dried would work equally well.

Just to note I did use high quality Organic Beef Broth.. I know some of you might be disappointed in my choice but since the car accident a lot of things have had to give and most of it's come down to how much time I can spend on my feet.

Colt's been doing a lot of the cooking for the last 6 months with some guidance so we've had to cut a few corners here and there for both of our sanities.

But if you happen to have Homemade Beef Stock by all means add it! If not good quality store bought it fine. 

Add:

• 1 1/2 pounds Chopped Beef Stew Meat 
• 1/2 wholeLarge Onion, Diced
• 4 cups Beef Broth
• 2 cups Water
• 14.5 ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes
• 3 whole Diced Carrots
• 4 stalks Diced Celery
• 3/4 cup Pearl Barley
• 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Thyme
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Set crock pot to high for 6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.

30 minutes before serving taste soup and add salt and pepper as needed. Add peas, stir well, and cook an additional 30 minutes.

Serve with crackers, rolls or these Easy Cheesy Garlic and Herb Breadsticks.

Simply divine my sweet friends. 

Try it! I promise you'll love it!
