Made this for the first time over the last snow event. I used the short ribs and remaining beef from a roast. Reminded me very much of the mushroom barley soup from the old Second Ave Deli.

Beef Mushroom Barley Soup
Prep Time:20 Min
Cook Time:6 hours
Servings: about 8

Ingredients
half pound left over beef roast diced (I threw in the short ribs during cooking)
1 cup barley (rinsed)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 quart beef broth
~2 cups water
~2 cubes beef bouillon

Directions
Throw everything into the slow cooker. Stir. Turn on low for about 6 hours. Stir and check liquid level about 4 hours in. You may have to add another cup water/ boullion cube. Adjust seasonings.

Sounds good Lawren, thanks!

I think this is one of those winters where soup recipes are going to come in very handy. Unfortunately!

Since my home cooking class last week and because we made a lemon Barley piloff and found out just how healthy Barley is. We are now on a Barley kick. I will make this coming week, BTW I remember a diner that used to make the best Tomato Beef barley soup every Tuesday. They made a movie in the diner and it closed for good after that

Frank I know the feeling. 2nd Ave Deli closing just killed me. They were a great client to a girl just starting out and they would feed me each time I came in. Sometimes that was my only really good meal of the week.super people.

Glad you enjoyed it! I think I'll put that on the menu today. I have the ingredients and it is yet another snow event.

Sounds good, but I'm not a barley lover. I made my "infamous" chicken & dumplings the other day for Barbara. Everyone loved it. My mom was known for this receipe which she passed on to me. If you would like it let me know and I'll share this easy receipe. shaggy
