Traditional Beef and Barley Soup Recipe
Warm-up during those cold winter months with this delicious and easy to make traditional beef and barley soup recipe.
Beef and barley is a fantastic hearty soup jam-packed with meat, root veggies, and barley. It is a derivative of scotch broth which is classically made with lamb, and in some cases is all vegetarian, instead of beef. Beef and barley have been around since the 18th century and essentially was created based on the availability of the product, like many recipes that come from that era.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 8 ounces roughly chopped bacon
• 2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, optional
• 2 peeled small diced yellow onions
• 3 thinly sliced leeks
• 4 finely minced garlic cloves
• 3 peeled medium diced carrots
• 3 medium diced celery stalks
• 1 peeled medium diced parsnip
• 1 peeled medium diced turnip
• 2 bay leaves
• 12 cups beef stock
• 2 cups pearl barley
• ¼ cup chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
• 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
• sea salt and pepper to taste
Serves 12
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Procedures:
1. In a large pot over medium heat, add in the bacon and cook until crisp and brown, about 8-10 minutes.
2. Remove the bacon lardons and set aside and add the cubed beef into the pot and turn the heat up slightly to medium-high and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
3. Take the beef out and set it to the side.
4. If there is not enough rendered bacon or meat fat in the pot then add in the optional olive oil and over low heat caramelize the onions and leeks for 30-35 minutes or until they are well browned. Stir occasionally.
5. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes before adding back in the beef, bacon, carrots, celery, parsnips, turnips, bay leaves, and beef stock and cook over low to medium heat for 60 minutes or until the vegetables and beef are tender.
6. Pour in the barley, give it a stir, and cook for 30-35 minutes over low to medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until the barley is cooked.
7. Finish with herbs, salt, and pepper, and serve.
Chef Notes:
How to Store: Place covered in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Cover and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
How to Reheat: Add the desired amount to a small saucepot and cook over low heat until hot. You can also reheat in the microwave until hot.
Washing the barley is optional, I prefer not to.
If the beef stock is not available you can use chicken stock or even water.
You do not have to use fresh herbs at the end, however, if using dry herbs, add them in when you add in the beef stock.

INGREDIENTS
- 2 lb beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 3/4 cup red wine
- 6 cups low-sodium beef stock
- 1 15-oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 bunch parsley
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed, husks removed
- 1 1/4 cups pearled barley
- 4 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 2 ribs celery, cut into ¼-inch pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut the chuck roast into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle the pieces with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or stockpot over medium to medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add half of the beef. Sear the beef on two sides until it is well browned and has a crust, 4-6 minutes per side. Once seared, set the beef aside on a plate. Do the same process to the remaining half of the beef.
- When the beef is seared, turn the heat down and allow the Dutch oven to cool slightly. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until it is soft and browned, 4-5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir into the onion until it deepens in color, 2-3 minutes. Add the red wine. Cook and stir the wine, bringing up all the brown bits on the Dutch oven, deglazing, until the wine is almost fully evaporated, 3-4 minutes.
- After the wine is evaporated, add the beef and any juices back to the Dutch oven. Pour in the beef stock and diced tomatoes with their juice. Separately, cut the stems off of the parsley. Using butcher's twine, tie together the parsley stems, rosemary, and thyme. Add the bundled herbs, bay leaves, and garlic cloves to the soup. Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer the soup until the meat is mostly tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- After the beef has cooked, add the pearled barley, celery, and carrots. Simmer the soup until the barley is tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Once cooked, remove the bundled herbs and bay leaves. Chop the remaining parsley, add it to the soup, and serve.

From my farm to your home. ????
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family.
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.

SLOW COOKER BEEF BARLEY SOUP!! DUMP AND GO CROCK POT MEAL IDEA!!
Baby, it's cold outside! At least it is in my neck of the woods and I know this is the case for many of you as well. I can't think of a more delicious way to warm up on a cold winter's night that a steaming bowl of hearty beef barley soup. This one is done in the slow cooker so it is even easier!
I had done a beef barley soup video many years ago and the video quality and camera work were in that learning process so we are having a do-over this time. This soup is loaded with beefy goodness and mushrooms, onions, carrots and since I did not have any celery and did not realize I was out when I went to the store, I supplemented my soup with a good hand full of dehydrated celery from my food storage. A little beef stock, some herbs and spices and you are on your way to a very delicious meal.
After cooking for the afternoon, we added regular pearled barley to the slow cooker and continued to cook until the barley was done. This can take anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes depending on your appliance. Just keep an eye on things and when the barley is toothsome and chewy, you are ready to eat.
This soup needs nothing more than a spoon. You can serve it with a sandwich or a side salad, but really this just needs a spoon. It is delicious, filling and satisfying.
Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to three months.
I hope that you will give my slow cooker beef barley soup a try and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!
