Hi and welcome to our website!
If you are looking for a homemade soup that will warm you from the inside out, this is it!
Beef barley soup is made many ways, some people don’t have potatoes in their soup because of the extra starch. I like potatoes in beef barley soup and I remove some of the starch by soaking the barley for 1 – 1/2 hours in cold water, plus soak my potatoes to remove starch. This also speeds up the cooking time for your barley.
Years ago people had big families and they made their soups with lots of vegetables so it would go along ways.
Beef barley soup is one of my Moms favourite soups, years ago when she had a house full of kids to feed she would make this soup a lot, but now she waits until I make it or one of my sisters.
If you are planning a family dinner or a meal for two this beef Barley soup is prefect, I call it a crowd pleaser. Plus check out my recipe for homemade bread and you can make a tray of bread rolls, so good.
I love making extra soup so I can bottle them in my mason jars for another day, for those days when you are so busy you are wondering what to have for supper. Just take out your soup pop the lid and pour in your sausepan to warm, then make yourself a grill cheese sandwich.
” Now that’s what I’m talking about”
Please continue on to our recipe for BEEF BARLEY SOUP and I will share with you a link to our cookbooks. https://www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook
When making any soup you need to build on those flavours by layering the ingredients and releasing all those fresh flavours. This soup I have a rib roast that got a lot of marbling and that means fat, just enough to make this soup burst with flavours. I browned the roast by baking it in a 350°F oven for 1 hour, 1/2 hour covered and 1/2 hour uncovered. The beef was roasted nice and brown then chopped in small pieces and place in a boiler three quarters full of beef broth.
Remember you are making this soup for yourself or maybe your family and who knows better then anyone what your family likes. So if you like a different vegetable or more beef or barley just add it in,
“I will never know.”
I hope our video and recipes helps you remember your childhood recipes that you loved and enjoyed has a child growing up in Newfoundland.
I can’t say enough about this soup to sell you on it, so just make it yourself and you tell me what you liked about it or what you did different to make it your own. Maybe you can remember based on this video the way your Mom or Dad made this soup years ago.
Sometimes it takes someone else making a recipe or maybe someone else talking about a nice old recipe from years ago for you to remember some of your childhood meals. I love to hear about them so send me a message telling me how your Mom or Dad made it and I will try my best to make a video of the recipe for your keepsake.
