Beef and Barley Soup
Description
This Beef and Barley Soup features cubes of beef stew meat that are first seared to develop a browned exterior and deepen the flavor. The beef is seasoned then cooked with chopped onions until translucent before adding beef broth, pearl barley, and dried thyme. The soup is brought to a boil and then simmered uncovered for an hour, allowing the barley to cook and thicken the broth slightly while tenderizing the beef.
After the initial cooking, sliced celery and carrots are added and cooked for an additional 15 minutes, contributing fresh vegetal notes and textural contrast. The resulting soup is robust and filling, with a combination of tender beef, chewy barley, and lightly softened vegetables. It can be served as a substantial meal, especially in cooler weather.
