Other tasty beef options include chuck roast or short ribs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beef broth:<\/strong> We always recommend using a low-sodium broth so that you can control the amount of salt in the final dish. (Or you could make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-beef-broth\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-beef-broth\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade beef broth<\/a>!)

Though the terms are often used interchangeably, stock is traditionally made with bones while broth is made with meat and vegetables.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> Because barley soaks up a lot of liquid, the addition of water helps to ensure the broth doesn&#8217;t thicken too much.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pearl barley:<\/strong> Often called pearled barley, this whole grain is a common ingredient in hearty soups. It has a mild nutty flavor. Pearl barley is quicker cooking than hulled barley, as it has had the outer hull and inner bran layer removed. You can substitute one for the other, but be aware that hulled barley takes longer to cook.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and pepper:<\/strong> These simple seasonings enhance the flavor of the soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables:<\/strong> The classic combination of chopped carrots, celery and onion add classic aromatic flavor to the beef and barley soup. To help ensure the veggies cook evenly, chop them into similar-sized pieces. For even more flavor, saute the chopped veggies in butter or oil (called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-mirepoix\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-mirepoix\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mirepoix<\/a>) before adding to the recipe. Frozen peas added at the end of cooking add a pop of color and flavor to the soup as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh herbs:<\/strong> This recipe calls for fresh parsley; other fresh herbs to consider include thyme, oregano or rosemary. If you don&#8217;t have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs. Just follow the simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-to-dried-herb-conversion\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-to-dried-herb-conversion\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1:3 conversion<\/a>: Use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for every three teaspoons of fresh herbs called for in a recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Brown the beef<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2053601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Beef-Barley-Soup-TOHVS23_6325_BL_09_22_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat, Brown beef on all sides\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.

Once your soup is done and cooled, transfer the soup to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does beef barley soup last?<\/h3>\n<p>For the best flavor and texture, plan to consume the refrigerated soup within five days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze beef barley soup?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! Beef and barley soup freezes well. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/freezing-soup\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/freezing-soup\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">To freeze<\/a>, allow the soup to cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or storage container. Freeze for up to six months.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat beef barley soup?<\/h3>\n<p>To reheat a large batch of beef and barley soup, transfer to a saucepan and heat over medium low-heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 20 minutes. If the refrigerated soup has thickened more than you prefer, use a little beef broth or water to thin it out slightly. Or, you can reheat individual servings in the microwave. To do so, transfer to a microwave-safe dish, cover and cook for two minutes. Stir, and continue cooking at 30-second intervals until heated through.<\/p>\n<p>If reheating from frozen, first let the soup thaw overnight in the fridge. Then follow the instructions above for reheating on the stovetop.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Beef Barley Soup Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2053597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Beef-Barley-Soup-TOHcom24_6325_MD_P2_09_12_3b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A hearty beef and barley soup is served in a white bowl with a spoon and crusty bread on the side\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">MARK DERSE FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you use other cuts of meat for beef barley soup?<\/h3>\n<p>Boneless chuck roast or deboned short ribs are ideal cuts of beef to use in this beef and barley soup recipe.
