How to Make Beef Barley Soup on the Stovetop Sometimes it’s by the rice and other grains, possibly in the baking aisle and other times even by the canned soups.

Pearl barley – this isn’t always found where you’d expect it at the store.

Fresh rosemary, thyme and parsley – if you don’t want to pay the higher price for fresh herbs, dried herbs can be substituted, just use 1/3 the amounts listed.

Soy sauce and Worcestershire – though added in small amounts these really build up the flavor of the broth.

Low-sodium chicken broth or beef broth – use which ever you prefer.

Tomato paste – this adds a mellow tomato flavor that pairs well with the beef.

Carrots, celery, onion and garlic – these aromatics really build up the base flavor of the soup.

Chuck roast – the perfect cut for soups and stew.

It’s a mouthful of goodness and satisfying, beefy flavor! There’s just something about all those ingredients simmering together building up flavor, and serving it warm for sipping that creates a cozy dish like no other.Īnd this one has a great blend of textures as well, with the tender beef and veggies, chewy barley and the base of runny broth. But that goes for just about any other soup too, right? This homemade classic is one that once you try it fresh, you’ll never be able to eat it canned again. The lady who picked up others' slack was fantastic, if you are reading this - you rock! :) However, definitely not coming back.I’ve been through the list of soups and made what seems like every kind out there, but that’s just the great thing about soup. The food was great and came out fast, but the attitudes really reminded me an old school dive bar.

As she was moving through the door she also loudly added a great TMI that you shouldn't say in front of the customers. By that time, employee#3 was halfway done with her beer and proceeded leaving the restaurant. We finally placed the order and moved from the bar to a table. She was wonderful and very apologetic that no one took our order or offered water. Finally, the lady who was helping the other couple came to the rescue. However, she proceeded to pour herself a beer instead and started drinking it behind the bar while chatting with the bartender. Then she told us that she will take our order 'in a minute'. At some point, a third lady finally noticed us and asked if we were helped. There was also a couple on another side of the restaurant, and another lady was helping them. And no, the place was virtually empty apart from two other customers at the bar and a few more outside. First, the bartender literally ignored us for a while. We stopped for a quick bite and a drink, but it did not go smooth. 2 years ago Great food, but very questionable service and rather a bizzarre experience for the area.
