beef barley soup

Meaty grain stew

Beef barley soup is a hearty soup made with chunks of beef, barley, and vegetables—typically carrots, celery, and onions—simmered in beef broth.

The barley absorbs liquid and thickens the broth while adding a chewy texture.

It's a classic comfort food, especially in cold weather: Nothing beats a bowl of beef barley soup on a winter day.
