Beef Barley Soup with Tomatoes. A wholesome comfort food soup with a deep, rich beef broth and a little sweetness from canned tomatoes. A great winter warm up soup.
Spouse is known for her tasty soups and this beef barley soup could not be easier or more tasty. This is a great example of how very simple ingredients, well prepared, can be transformed into something special.
It looks to be a cold rainy weekend in these parts. A big pot of steaming soup is likely to be appreciated by all within sniffing distance of this hearty dish.
You can also use leftover diced roast beef or leftover grilled steak, just add it half way through the cooking time instead of at the beginning.
We love to serve soups with these savoury, utterly delicious, Cheese and Herb Scones.
