Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup
A hearty slow cooker beef barley soup will stick to your bones and keep you full all winter long. It's packed full of vegetables, barley, and beef.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chuck roast cut into bite size pieces
- 1 diced tomatoes 14 ounce can
- 2/3 cup pearl barley
- 4 carrot peeled and diced
- 3 thyme leaves pulled off stem, fresh, sprigs
- 1 onion diced, large
- 1 green pepper cored and diced
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper fresh cracked
- 6 cups beef stock more if needed
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large 6-quart slow cooker, give a quick stir, and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- Every few hours I like to give mine a stir and check the liquid level. If it looks as though there is not enough liquid you can add more stock or water.
Notes
- I like to freeze my roast for about 20 minutes before cubing. It makes cutting the meat a bit easier.
