My favourite season is autumn when the leaves change colours, the air is brisk, and there’s still a chance for a bright sunny day with cool evenings. Apples, pumpkins, and spice dominate baking and coffees, soups, and stews welcome warm additions to our meals. On my morning walks, the leaves crunch and swirl about, the squirrels are busy hiding acorns, and there’s an urgency to walk faster to get back home where there’s a pot of soup waiting to be made. This Beef and Barley soup is one of our favourites and goes together quickly. This beef and barley soup can be made with ground beef or leftover sliced beef from Sunday’s roast. My hubby prefers it with the ground beef.

This beef and barley soup is a nice soup to have during those cold nights. This is a healthy and delicious alternative to some unhealthy instant soup you can easily buy.

Ingredients
 
 

  • Ripe yellow onion on a white background2 cups yellow onion - minced
  • Carrot vegetable with leaves1 cup carrots - peeled and chopped
  • Celery isolated on white background. top view1 cup celery - chopped fine
  • Glass bowl of olive oil isolated on white background2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Raw meat mince1 pound ground beef (minced beef) - sirloin
  • garlic2 cloves garlic - finely minced
  • wooden bowl of salt1 teaspoon salt
  • Ground black pepper pile, paths, top1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Bowl of beef bone stock3 quarts beef stock (beef broth or beef bouillon)
  • Button Mushroom1 pound button mushrooms - sliced thinly and chopped
  • Aromatic bay leaves1 large bay leaf (bay leaves)
  •  
    1 cup pearl barley
  • parsley on white background2 sprigs parsley - chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a large stockpot and add onions, celery, and carrots. Stir together and cook vegetables to make a mirepoix.
  • Mirepoix uses a very gentle slow cooking process using oil or butter to bring out the best flavours of the vegetables without sautéing. The object is to slowly cook the onions, carrots and celery to sweeten rather than caramelize or brown. Traditionally, the mixture is 2 parts onion, 1 part celery, and 1 part carrot. If I have extra time and feel like a little extra chopping, I usually double or triple the batch when making a mirepoix to start a recipe. Then I can make two or more kinds of soup or stew or freeze the extras in small quantities to make a quick pot of soup later. It is far more efficient to make a large batch and freeze it in small amounts to make the smaller soup quickly.
  • Continue to sweat for 7 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and translucent. Remove mirepoix from the pan reserving oil in the pan.
  • In the same stockpot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Just before the meat is browned, add the minced garlic and continue browning for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Drain most of the oil from sauteing the meat. Then, season with salt and pepper and add chopped mushrooms stirring to combine.
  • Add reserved mirepoix, beef stock and bay leaf, bring to boil, cover, turn the heat down and simmer for 30 minutes. Depending on how thin you prefer your soup, you can add more or less beef stock.
  • Once mushrooms are thoroughly cooked for about 10 to 15 minutes, add barley and continue simmering for about 30 minutes or till barley is tender.
  • Remove bay leaf and serve. Serve with some crusty bread and a salad.
