Best Beef Barley Soup

Recipe #300101 | 2¾ hours | 10 min prep | SERVES 24 , 24 bowls (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Babychops

This is so easy & so darned good. I just made a batch for my Mom who is under the weather, she really liked it - I omitted the onion for her as she can't tolerate it & she actually had a whole bowl when the day before all she could eat was a half a pear & a cup of tea... I love this stuff & usually eat it for a week after I make a batch. It's that good... Be sure to get the bone-in short ribs as the bones add to the flavor.

Ingredients

  • lbs beef short rib (bone in)
  • tablespoon beef bouillon (I use Caldo de Res)
  • 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomato, organic or 4 roma tomato, diced
  • large yellow onion, chopped
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon pepper, coarsely ground
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag baby carrot (approx size)
  • stalks celery, chopped
  • head cabbage, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag pearl barley (approx size)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      In a large stock pot boil 1 gal water, add beef ribs, tomatoes, onion, salt & pepper - continue to boil for 1 1/2 hour.
    2. 2
      Remove ribs & slice from bones, discarding bones. Chop into bite sized pieces & return to pot.
    3. 3
      Add carrots, celery, cabbage & barley and continute to boil for 45 minutes. You could use quick cooking barley for a shorter cooking time but I don't.
    4. 4
      Ladel up & enjoy!
    5. 5
      You can always experiment and add ingredients you prefer for a different flavor! When I don't feel like chopping cabbage I just put in 2 bags of shredded from Albertson's.
