BEEF BARLEY SOUP WITH LEMON



Beef Barley Soup With Lemon image

With a higher ratio of broth to barley than one usually sees, and the addition of plenty of fresh baby spinach, this beef barley soup is a little lighter than most of its kind. However, it's still a substantial, satisfying meal that gets a heady aroma from spices (coriander, cumin and paprika) and a brightness from lemon. If you like your meals with a kick, top this with thinly sliced jalapeño, which will wilt slightly from the heat of the soup. Leftovers freeze perfectly for at least three months, though if using the jalapeño, don't add it until serving time.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil, more as needed
3 small or 2 large leeks, thinly sliced
3 celery stalks, diced
1 fennel bulb, diced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
Large pinch cayenne, optional
1 quart beef or chicken stock
3 sage sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
2 bay leaves
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 large turnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3/4 cups pearled barley
8 ounces/8 cups baby spinach or baby kale
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Finely grated zest of 1 small lemon, plus fresh lemon juice to taste
Thinly sliced jalapeños or other chiles, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Season beef with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Let mixture stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add meat and cook in batches, turning occasionally, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Drizzle in additional oil if the pan seems dry. Transfer the browned meat to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Add leek, celery, fennel and garlic to the pan; cook until soft, about 7 minutes, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning. Push the vegetables to one side, and, if the pan looks dry, add a bit more oil. Add tomato paste and spices to the cleared spot and cook until tomato paste is darkened and caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir together vegetables and tomato paste.
  • Return meat to the pot. Pour in stock and 8 cups water. Using kitchen string, tie sage, rosemary and bay leaves into a bundle and drop into pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, partly covered, for 1 hour.
  • Stir in the carrots, parsnips, turnips, barley, 1 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer until barley is cooked through and meat is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. Pull herb bunch from pot and discard.
  • Stir spinach and parsley into pot until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes (kale may take a few minutes longer), then stir in lemon zest and juice. If soup is too thick, thin it with a little water. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Serve with chiles, if you like.

OLD-FASHIONED VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP



Old-Fashioned Vegetable Beef Soup image

Better than Campbell's but just as comforting! Loosely based on a gourmet cooking magazine's recipe for Beef Barley soup, I didn't have any barley or okra, so I added root veggies to make it more hearty, like a rich broth with the chunkyness of stew. It turned out to be the best soup I've ever made! DH, stepson and baby girl kept coming back for more.

BEEF, BARLEY AND MANY VEGETABLE SOUP



Beef, Barley and Many Vegetable Soup image

On one hand there is beef barley soup, and on the other there's mushroom barley soup, but why choose between the two when you can have both in one soup? Heck, why not add a bunch of other vegetables-carrots, celery, tomatoes, and chard or spinach-to the mix for even more color, flavor, and nutrition? And how about a handful of fresh dill for an earthy herbal essence? It's that kind of thinking that led me right to this wonderful, filling, meal-in-a-bowl with tender beef in every bite balanced with a bounty of whole-grain, plant-powered goodness.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces lean beef stew meat, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
