Beef Barley Soup
Hearty Beef and Barley Stew with Garden Vegetables
Ingredients:
1 lb beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 cup pearl barley
6 cups beef broth
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups fresh spinach or kale, chopped (optional)
Directions:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Return beef to the pot and add beef broth, diced tomatoes, barley, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until beef is tender and barley is cooked through.
If using, stir in spinach or kale and cook for an additional 5 minutes until greens are wilted.
Remove bay leaves before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
