vegetable beef barley soup

[Kitchen Witch]

Early this morning I put on a big pot of vegetable beef barley soup for lunch - and it will last for a couple days. A nice tummy warmer now that the temps have dropped.


Placed soup bone in large pot of cold water with diced onion, sliced celery, chunked carrots, parsely, fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt; skim. When meat is cooked - remove from bone, cut off any fat and chop - return to pot with chunked potates, barley and chopped tomates (can use a can of diced tomatoes) - when just about done - add frozen corn and peas - adjust seasoning or add beef bouillon. Serve with chunks of homemade bread.


Dinner - seasoned burgers with fried potatoes and onions with chopped red bell pepper. Green salad.

Dessert - homemade apple pie.
