Cold days mean perfect days for soup. Warm. Filling. Comforting. And that is exactly what this soup was. Filled with carrots, celery, tomatoes, mushrooms, and barley this basic beef veggie soup was really tasty.

Beef and Mushroom Barley Soup
I shared it with my SIL and MIL and they really liked it. Especially the barley. And that was good because this was the FIRST time ever I have had barley let alone put it in soup. I didn’t even know where to look for it. I do now and I will add it to my regular veggie soup each time I make it.
This was such good soup. I hope you try it – soon. You can find the recipe in Ellie’s The Food You Crave on page 89. I also found it at google books. And thanks to Jennifer of The Rookie Baker. This was her pick this week.
And visit CEinMB to see how much, I hope, the other members liked this soup.

Hey, yours looks exactly like mine! lol We loved the barley as well and I can think of other things to put that in as well. This will be making more appearances at our house. Beats Campbells all to heck.

This looks like something that should be waiting, on the kitchen table, when the working folk and kids walk in the door.

I just didn’t want barley. But I made the soup with pasta and it was good. I also used hamburger instead of a more expensive cut. I love soups in this cold weather. Yours looks great as always.

I’ve noticed this soup in Ellie’s book and have been wanting to try it. With your excellent review of it, I definitely will soon.

This looks delicious, and I’m excited about trying barley. I’m not sure when I’ll get the chance to make it, but it’s definitely going on my list. I hope you and your family had a nice holiday and good start to the new year!
