Beef and Barley Soup I

Beef and Barley Soup I

We are remodeling the kitchen and getting very hungry for food again so I got out the slow cooker and made this soup. It’s perfect when you do not have a lot of time. Since you can get soup bones that contain little fat, this soup is nearly fat-free. When the soup is cooled there is no visible fat at the surface.

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley
  • 11 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 cup barley

Directions

Step 1
Place beef bones in a large size slow cooker. Add salt, celery stalks, onion, bouquets garnis, pepper, carrots, parsley and garlic. Fill slow cooker within 2 inches of the top with hot water and cook for 6 hours, covered on high heat, stirring occasionally.

Add barley and cook for 2 more hours stirring occasionally or until meat can easily be removed from bones.
