Easy to throw together for a cold, rainy day. Nice and filling when served with a crusty loaf of bread. ETA--often I make this with beef broth instead of the water and bouillon cubes, and I'll often add a can of canned corn as well.

SERVES 10 -12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb extra lean ground beef, browned
5 cups water
3 (14 ounce) cans tomatoes seasoned with basil garlic & oregano, with juice
3 cups sliced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced potato
1 cup diced onion
3/4 cup pearl barley, rinsed
3 teaspoons beef bouillon granules or 3 beef bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1
Dissolve the bouillon in the water.
2
Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker.
3
Cover and cook on low for 9-10 hours or high for 4.5-5 hours.

I couldn't find BARLEY... my fantastic grocery store rarely lets me down! I used brown rice instead. It was just OK. Edible, sure! The pictures definitely look tastier than what I experienced this evening. It was hearty, filling, and warm... maybe I'll try it again with barley and will enjoy it more

This is comfort food at its finest, I did exactly as the recipe called for, except I used 3 cups of beef broth and the rest water. The barley gives it a nice flavor along with good vitamins.

Soup is a true comfort food and for this reason it is nice making it in the crock pot for its ease and blending of flavors. Cooking on Low on all day provides a chance for the flavors to blend together. This soup is FANTASTIC! I cooked it in my Rival 6 quart Smart Pot and it was filled to the rim. The only change I made was to add the pearl barley at the end of the cooking time because it does swell up and absorb all the broth. I added it the last hour of cooking. Serve this with homemade bread and a side salad and you have a complete meal.

This recipe is perfect on a cold snowy day! I used ground round, 4 cups of water, 1 can of beef broth, and 2 beef bouillon cubes. DH picked up quick cooking barley instead of pearl barley so I added it towards the end. Also, I had another recipe in the crockpot so I did make this in my dutch oven on the stove. Cooked on medium low for a couple hours and it was amazing! Great flavors and loved the barley, even better warmed up for lunch this afternoon. Thank you megsmom!
