    Hey I forgot how good beef barley soup is, and I do have some pearl barley in the cupboard.

      Do you have a recipe you can share? Whenever I’ve added barley to soup I only get about one good meal, leftovers tend to have the barley absorbing all of the broth (which is still delicious, just not soup any longer)…I suppose I could cook the barley separately, keep it in the fridge, and add it to the soup prior to reheating…hmm, I too have a box of barley in the cupboard and I just made bean and potato soup yesterday

        Here’s what I made last time:

        2 lbs chuck roast, trimmed of excess chunks of fat, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

        3 Tbsp olive oil

        1 1/2 cups chopped carrots (about 3)

        1 cup chopped celery (about 2 ribs)

        2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large)

        3 Tbsp tomato paste

        1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic (4 cloves)

        64oz low-sodium chicken broth or beef broth

        1 Tbsp soy sauce

        2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

        2 tsp minced fresh rosemary, or 1/2 tsp dried

        2 tsp minced fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp dried

        Salt and freshly ground black pepper

        1 cup pearl barley

        3 Tbsp minced fresh parsley

        Brown meat in oil, reserve. Sautee veggies to soften. Deglaze pot, dump it all in, simmer 40 minutes.
