Beef Barley Soup

JC:

I am as fond of a good (no make that a GREAT) Beef Barley Soup, glad you found a place that makes it and had some for your return trip. My question is did you get the recipe?

There is nothing like a Thermos full of Beef Barley Soup, for a break from the fishing, to allow you to stay and not go roaming for a resturant or cafe!

Swam Three Little Fishies, and a Mommy Fishy too.
"Swim", said the Mommy Fishy, "Swim if you can!"
And they, swam swam, all over the Dam.

I LOVE beef barley soup. My wife makes it and you're right Steven, there is nothing like it particularly on a cold inclement day on the water or a hunt. She makes it almost like stew, thick with lots o barley! I gotta ask if she'll make some soon.

Happy Trails!

Ronn:

Can you have your wife send me the recipe she uses, if she make you home-made beef barley soup? I am a avid cook in search of the best recipes for all the foods I love.

I'll see what I can do Steven. This might be one of those things she cooks w/o a recipe. It would be good to get it on paper though if it isn't. I'll ask her when she gets home from work.

Happy Trails!

I would also love a good beef barley soup recipe. I can't find a soup good recipe for the life of me, but I love beef barley soup.

Hey JC:
With those principles it seems you will soon be out of good soup with naught an idea of how to make more.
I would think that asking for a recipe is perhaps the highest compliment to a chef.

Not solicited but: Turkey barley soup recipe-
Take turkey carcass,leftover gravy, roaster pan drippings( rinse pan to obtain EVERYTHING- less most of leftover stuffing),leftover sliced meat etc, 3 large carrots ( quartered) 3 large stalks celery (ditto) Large onion unpeeled ( halved and singed on stove burners), 1 box (8-12oz) small barley,2 bay leaves, salt ,pepper, cover with water and cook away. Skim the "stuff" that surfaced during boiling and add whatever you normally would to slightly thicken ( roux, water flour or cornstarch
slurry) Nobody is saying this looks "pretty" but it sure tastes good.
The singing of the unpeeled halved onion on the stovetop is NOT a small matter. Adds a GREAT flavor.
Enjoy, Mark

Me too. ... I love the stuff and home made is soooo much better than canned stuff (too much salt).

For what it's worth ...

• 2 strips bacon[/*:m:43108]
• 1/2 lb stewing beef (cubes)[/*:m:43108]
• 1/2 medium onion[/*:m:43108]
• 2 cloves of garlic[/*:m:43108]
• pinch of thyme[/*:m:43108]
• 1/2 cup medium Barley[/*:m:43108]
• 1 ripe tomato[/*:m:43108]

• Brown the bacon + onion in a large sauce pan[/*:m:43108]
• Add beef cubes to bacon + onion (including the bacon fat) [/*:m:43108]
• add garlic (crushed)[/*:m:43108]
• add about 10 cups water[/*:m:43108]
• bring to boil 'n simmer 1 hour or 2[/*:m:43108]
• add barley + diced tomato and simmer for 20 minutes[/*:m:43108]
• add thyme, salt + pepper to taste[/*:m:43108]

I like it spicey, so I'll add about 2 table spoons of Tabasco or Puka.

Grubb,

NEVER ??

Man you are missing something. We fish here 'til Oct15th or 31st, ... Snows usually in early october, so lunch ALWAYS includes soup.

Ya' just need those complex carbohydrates to keep warm.

Beef 'n Barley soup, Split Pea soup, or good old fashioned Jamaican Beef and Veggies (with dumplings). Great starter for lunch.

JC,

Good point. (I'm not shy about putting my recipe as I'm not commercial and I believe it's the same recipe as on the bag of barley )

'Chicken-fried' steak
