Beef and Mushroom Barley Soup

This homemade beef barley soup is a complete meal in a bowl. Loaded with tender beef, thickly sliced mushrooms, plump barley and studded with carrots and celery, this beef and mushroom barley soup can be made ahead of time, freezes great, and is the perfect hearty soup to warm your body and soul!

Pearled barley is such a great grain for soup-making, it can usually be bought in the bulk section and only needs a quick rinse before adding to a soup recipe. The starch released during the simmering process is wonderful for thickening up broth and once fully cooked, pearled barley is soft and chewy at the same time.

While there are many variations of barley soup, one of the most common is beef barley soup. Beef barley soup is often made with mushrooms, and this version also includes carrots, celery, onion, and fresh thyme. You can use homemade beef broth as your base or substitute your favorite store-bought beef broth.
