an old favorite of mine adapted from a recipe on the back of a barley bag found 20 odd years ago.
Beef Barley Soup
1 can crushed tomatoes plus 2 cans water
2-3 bay leaves
1.5lb london broil chopped into bite size pieces
2-3 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 cup barley rinsed
1 chopped onion
3 cloves garlic crushed or diced
1/2 cup frozen corn <or 8oz canned kernel corn drained>
1 cup fresh or frozen green beans broken into bite size
2 TSP oregano
Bring tomatoes, water, bay leaves and beef to a boil. Let boil for 10 minutes then skim the top.
Add everything else and set at simmer for about 3 hours. You can also do this one in the infamous slow-cooker for about 6 hours on low.
Beef barley soup gets better the next day as the barley continues to absorb fluid and brings the consistancy to a more stewlike texture .
We like it topped with cheese or plain with grilled cheese sandwiches.
