Beef Barley Soup is a classic meal selection on a cold winter’s day. It easily cooks in the slow cooker making meal prep a breeze.
Hearty and rich, this is a one pot meal sure to satisfy.
I make this meal with leftover tenderloin roast, however stewing beef works just as well. Be sure to use your favourite tomato sauce and let it cook for at least 6hrs in the slow cooker before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy this soup paired with a fresh loaf of French bread and Craft Beer.
