Quick-cooking barley and sirloin help get this beef-and-barley soup on the table in a snap—and it doubles easily. If leftovers get too thick in the fridge, add a little broth when you reheat it. Serve with crusty bread and a glass of malbec.

I made this last night and it was good. I could not find quick barley, so i used normal barley so i had to cook it for an hour. My husband begged me to add white potatoes so i did. It was filling and good.





Had this forever and finally made it, it was great! My quasi picky fiance also loved it. My own mistake, I should have sauteed the celery a little longer bc it was kind of crunchy, and I should have taken the meat off a minute before, but these were my issues as I was afraid of overcooking and undercooking the meat. Still, so good! Made the kitchen smell great.





we used regular cooking barley and then added 2 more cups of beef broth and tomato past.





Made this on a snow day so had to use what was on hand. This meant I used chicken broth and had no celery. I used extra spices and I admit I made small dumplings and added them. It was fabulous! I did cook it a little longer after I added the meat. It gets better and better.
I love this soup too! I make
I love this soup too! I make it with a half pound hamburger when I'm really in a hurry. Make individual portions and freeze and take to work for lunch
