Beef Tomato-Barley Soup

"It has in conclusion stopped snowing", she said quietly as she knocked on wood. We truly saw the Sun today as well as they are calling for to a greater extent than Sun tomorrow; it has been quite a winter!! My pathetic quondam crock pot has hardly striking the shelf this winter; it seems similar at that spot is e'er roughly edible bean or soup recipe bubbling away inwards there.

Today's post is i of picky-picky husbands crockpot favorites. It is really rich, really beefy, really filling as well as it only keeps getting amend as well as amend the longer it cooks.


I was a immature bride when I tried to make  domicile made beef soup the get-go fourth dimension as well as it was terrible (I mean value it called for a ton of bay leaves). I recollect cooking it all solar daytime as well as wanting it to gustation every bit skillful every bit it looked, but nosotros only couldn't consume it.

I didn't plough over upwards though, I tried all kinds of magazine recipes; roughly had a ton of herbs; roughly had onion soup mix; roughly had Italian salad dressing mix inwards it; I tried them all, alongside petty success. I decided to become dorsum to a no frill vegetable soup recipe.  I tweaked it for years until it evolved into the recipe I'm posting today. Picky-picky married adult man is crazy almost this soup as well as loves to dip hot buttered breadstuff rolls into it.

2 pounds beef chuck roast
1 loving cup onion chopped
1 loving cup celery chopped
2 cups carrot chopped
4 large potatoes cubed
2/3 loving cup pearl barley (don’t larn out out)
(2) 32 ounce boxes beef broth
(1) fifteen ounce tin Lycopersicon esculentum sauce
½ teaspoon dark pepper
(2) heaping teaspoons beef bullion granules

Cut the beef into 1” cubes, removing every bit much fatty every bit possible. Brown beef inwards a minimal amount of vegetable crude until beef is nice as well as crusty brown (this is where the bulk of your soup flavour volition come upwards from, as well as then don't skip this step).
.
Remove beef from youngster pan as well as drain off every bit much fatty every bit you lot can; add together onion, celery as well as carrots. Using the wet from the veggies, de-glaze whatever crusty chocolate-brown bits on the bottom of the pan. If the chocolate-brown bits are stubborn, add together a tabular array spoon of H2O as well as piece of job your spatula to scrape upwards the fond . Cook until onions are transparent.
.
Put the beef as well as sauteed vegetables inwards the crockpot as well as add together the residuum of the ingredients, stir well. Cook on depression for 8 hours.

NOTE: Do non larn out out barley. It non solely gives a wonderful flavour to the soup, but it thickens the broth.
