My review
Beef Mushroom Barley Soup
2
Wendellian
"Family favorite. It kind of turns into a type of stew as the barley soaks up much of the beef stock. Best part is that it gets better with age, so make plenty and enjoy throughout the week! It's always better the second day, so you might want to cook it one day, refrigerate it overnight, and then cook it again the next day."

I browned garlic with the beef and peppered the beef and veggies when I cooked them. I was disappointed because it was very bland. I'll definitely make this again - but will be adding some mor...

A BIG WINNER (with a few tweaks...) and crockpot friendly too. To make this recipe a true soup (instead of a stew) I use only 1 lb of beef and 4 oz of barley. I also add two cans of beef consom...

I didn't have mushrooms so left them out. But otherwise flavor was great! It didn't take 3 hours to cook...I cooked barley only 1 hour and it was definitely enough time for the whole soup.

I wish I had access to beef stock because I thought this was just ok while my husband thought it was great. I'm sure the other reviewer is right - the stock probably makes all the difference. ...
