Beef and Barley Soup I image

We are remodeling the kitchen and getting very hungry for food again so I got out the slow cooker and made this soup. It's perfect when you do not have a lot of time. Since you can get soup bones that contain little fat, this soup is nearly fat-free. When the soup is cooled there is no visible fat at the surface.

Time 8h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 beef soup bones
2 tablespoons kosher salt
5 stalks celery
1 onion, quartered
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 'bouqet garni' spice balls
½ pound baby carrots
¼ cup fresh parsley
11 cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup barley

Steps:

  • Place beef bones in a large size slow cooker. Add salt, celery stalks, onion, bouquets garnis, pepper, carrots, parsley and garlic. Fill slow cooker within 2 inches of the top with hot water and cook for 6 hours, covered on high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Add barley and cook for 2 more hours stirring occasionally or until meat can easily be removed from bones.
  • Remove and discard onion, bouquets garnis, celery, and parsley.
  • Transfer bones to a dish and remove meat from bones, being careful not to take off cartilage or gristle. Place meat back into soup, stir, and serve.
