Beef Barley Soup is a delectable combination of beef, carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes, corn, and barley in a deliciously seasoned beef broth. This delicious soup can be made quickly with stew meat or simmered low and slow with a chuck roast.

This Beef Barley Soup is delicious, fast to make, and satisfying when it’s cold outside. This nutritious one-pot dinner is made with ground beef, barley, and vegetables and can be prepared in just one hour. Delicious!

In our family, we like to change things up by having beef barley soup instead of the usual turkey meatball or chicken noodle soup. I prefer to use ground beef instead of the traditional beef chunks in my beef and barley soup, unlike my grandmother and other traditional recipes. Tiny pieces of cooked ground beef go really well with barley in the soup, giving each spoonful extra flavor.

TIPS FOR MAKING BEEF BARLEY SOUP:

Use a hard piece of meat – this is a great example of when to use a tougher cut of meat such as a chuck roast or shoulder. You don’t have to purchase costly sirloin tips or anything like that.
Cooking the beef until it turns brown enhances the taste, but it is not completely necessary. I enjoy browning my beef because it gives it a rich flavor, but even when I skip this step, the dish still tastes great.
