BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP (SLOW COOKER) RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Beef and Barley Soup (Slow Cooker) Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 Tablespoons vegetable (or olive) oil
3 onions, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 Tablespoon minced fresh thyme (or 3/4 tsp. dried)
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 (28-oz) can crushed tomatoes*
2 cups beef broth
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 carrots, peeled and chopped medium
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup pearl barley**
2 pounds beef blade steak (I used chuck-eye roast, which is my preference)
salt and pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
if you like less tomato flavor, either decrease the crushed tomatoes by half or a small can of tomato sauce
I doubled the barley, and am glad that I did

Steps:

  • Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions, tomato paste, and thyme and cook until onions are softened and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Stir in wine, scraping up any browned bits; transfer to slow cooker. Stir tomatoes, beef broth, chicken broth, carrots, soy sauce, and barley into slow cooker. Season beef with salt and pepper and nestle into slow cooker. Cover and cook* until beef is tender, 9-11 hours on low or 5-7 hours on high. Transfer beef*** to cutting board, let cool slightly, then shred into bite-sized pieces. Let soup settle for 5 minutes, then remove fat from surface using large spoon. Stir in shredded beef** and let sit until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, season with salt and pepper and serve. **I have a removable slow cooker insert, so I covered it and refrigerated it the night before. In the morning, before work, I turned on the slow cooker. ***Since I used chuck-eye roast, and cut it into bite-sized pieces, I did not find this step necessary.

Kelly's Slow Cooker Beef, Mushroom, and Barley Soup image

I tinkered with a few recipes and came up with this one. I have tinkered with this recipe and added celery once and leeks another time, for me all it did was add to the chunkiness, not the flavor; but that's really up to your preference.

1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced

Steps:

  • Dry the beef with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown half of the beef, about 10 minutes, then add to the slow cooker. Return the skillet to medium-high heat and repeat with 2 more teaspoons oil and the remaining beef.
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the empty skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions, carrots, and 1/4 teaspoons salt. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until the wine has reduced by half, about 1 minute, then pour into the slow cooker.

In the morning, add the chilled ingredients to the slow cooker, then add the tomatoes with their juice, the broths, thyme and barley to the slow cooker. Proced with step 3. The cooking time will run to the high end of the range given in the recipe.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP



Slow-Cooker Beef and Barley Soup image

This recipe is inspired by the beef, leek and barley soup in "Home Cooking" (Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2010), a memoir and cookbook by Laurie Colwin. It defies what you're told you must do to make an exceptional soup: Brown your meat, add ingredients in layers, and taste as you go. Instead, just chop a few vegetables, put everything in a pot - or in this case, a slow cooker - then forget about it. This recipe builds satisfying, hearty flavors in a few key ways: The small quantity of dried mushrooms not only nods to mushroom-barley soup, but also creates an umami backdrop. Opt for chicken stock instead of beef, which is more consistently flavorful across brands. Use a collagen-rich cut of meat, like chuck or short ribs. And last, a long cook time allows flavors to deepen, without any babysitting.

Time 8h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces, or 2 to 3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs (3 to 4); see Tip
1 quart chicken stock
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/2-inch-thick
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup pearl barley
2 fresh thyme sprigs or 2 dried bay leaves
1/2 ounce dried porcini, crushed or chopped into small pieces
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or lemon juice, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In a 5-to-8-quart slow cooker, add the beef, stock, carrots, onion, barley, thyme, porcini, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 2 cups water. Stir to combine, cover and cook on low until the meat shreds when pulled with two forks, 6 to 8 hours.
  • If your soup has fat on the surface, skim it with a spoon. (The amount will vary, depending on your cut of meat.) Remove and discard the thyme. If using chuck, shred the meat using two forks right in the pot; if using short ribs, transfer to a cutting board and pull the meat away from the bones. Remove any excess fat and cartilage, then chop and shred the meat and return it to the slow cooker. Stir in the vinegar. If the flavors taste muted, add salt and vinegar. If it's too mild, add more black pepper.
