I ya'll haven't heard it is freaking COLD here! There was "supposedly" going to be snow in Savannah last night but instead we got ICE! So so so cold... like our heater is frozen and not working so we have the oven propped open and a space heater going. Anyway cold days are SOUP days! Tonight I made some beef and barley *I used brown rice* soup and it was SO yummy. Here is the recipe...
Beef and Barley Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp oil *I use coconut oil*
- 1 1/2 lb lean stew meat
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 cloves chopped garlic
- 6 cups water
- 1-2 tsp salt *I left this out*
- 2 bay leaves
- 2/3 cup barley *I used 1 cup of brown rice*
- fresh ground black pepper
**- I added 1 can of no salt added diced tomatoes**
What to do......
- Brown the meat in a large pot with 1 tsp oil
- when meat is done browning add the chopped carrots, onions, garlic and celery. stir together and let cook for a few minutes
- now add the water, bay leaves, diced tomatoes and salt/pepper if you're going to use it. once it starts boiling put lid on it and let simmer for an hour stirring occasionally
- add barley *in my case brown rice* cook 30-35 more minutes
Hope you enjoy!
XOXO
