BEEF MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP



Beef Mushroom Barley Soup image

Family favorite. It kind of turns into a type of stew as the barley soaks up much of the beef stock. Best part is that it gets better with age, so make plenty and enjoy throughout the week! It's always better the second day, so you might want to cook it one day, refrigerate it overnight, and then cook it again the next day.

SLOW COOKER 5-MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP



Slow Cooker 5-Mushroom Barley Soup image

This hearty version of an American classic soup is inspired by 'Chef Jakey' of the long-gone 'Steak Pub' in 1970's Monticello, NY. Long ago, I lived and worked in the upstate New York resort town of Monticello. As an electrical contractor, one of my clients was an upscale restaurant called 'The Steak Pub.' They had an Asian head chef named 'Jakey.' During winter months when business was slow, we spent hours doing electrical upgrades. Inevitably, we would be there at lunch time, and Jakey would invite us to his specialty, Mushroom Barley Soup, with hot sourdough. The addition of the cream of mushroom soup gives a creamier end result. Serve hot with sourdough or other fine bread, or garlic rounds.

MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP (SLOW COOKER)



Mushroom Barley Soup (Slow Cooker) image

One beef I have with crock pot recipes is sometimes the size of the crock pot isn't included with the recipe. I have an 7 qt. Kitchen Aide Crock Pot, so most recipes will fit into it. With this recipe, I noticed I only filled the crock with these ingredients to the 4 quart line. I got this recipe out of the Simple Vegan Slow Cooker Cookbook. I noticed that the finished soup needed salt, but I don't add salt to my soups. I leave that up to the discretion of the person eating the soup. I used herbs from my garden that I grew and dried last fall. I used white button mushrooms in this soup. I sprinkled a little Romano cheese on top of my bowl of soup, which isn't vegan, but it surely tasted good and added a little extra flavour. I doubled the recipe because we love our soup!

Provided by Chef Joey Z.

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 6h15m

Yield 6-8 cups, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups vegetable stock
4 cups sliced mushrooms (fresh)
1/2 cup pearl barley
3 tablespoons dairy-free margarine
1 tablespoon fresh dill
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried tarragon

Steps:

  • Add the soup stock to your slow cooker and turn it on. If you're cooking this on low, 6 to 8 hours is perfect.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and set the crock and let it cook.
  • I always check the soup about 1/2 way through cooking as I've found at times the soups is done sooner then the time stated.
  • Bon Appetit.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP



Slow-Cooker Beef and Barley Soup image

This recipe is inspired by the beef, leek and barley soup in "Home Cooking" (Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2010), a memoir and cookbook by Laurie Colwin. It defies what you're told you must do to make an exceptional soup: Brown your meat, add ingredients in layers, and taste as you go. Instead, just chop a few vegetables, put everything in a pot - or in this case, a slow cooker - then forget about it. This recipe builds satisfying, hearty flavors in a few key ways: The small quantity of dried mushrooms not only nods to mushroom-barley soup, but also creates an umami backdrop. Opt for chicken stock instead of beef, which is more consistently flavorful across brands. Use a collagen-rich cut of meat, like chuck or short ribs. And last, a long cook time allows flavors to deepen, without any babysitting.

Time 8h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces, or 2 to 3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs (3 to 4); see Tip
1 quart chicken stock
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/2-inch-thick
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup pearl barley
2 fresh thyme sprigs or 2 dried bay leaves
1/2 ounce dried porcini, crushed or chopped into small pieces
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or lemon juice, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In a 5-to-8-quart slow cooker, add the beef, stock, carrots, onion, barley, thyme, porcini, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 2 cups water. Stir to combine, cover and cook on low until the meat shreds when pulled with two forks, 6 to 8 hours.
  • If your soup has fat on the surface, skim it with a spoon. (The amount will vary, depending on your cut of meat.) Remove and discard the thyme. If using chuck, shred the meat using two forks right in the pot; if using short ribs, transfer to a cutting board and pull the meat away from the bones. Remove any excess fat and cartilage, then chop and shred the meat and return it to the slow cooker. Stir in the vinegar. If the flavors taste muted, add salt and vinegar. If it's too mild, add more black pepper.
