BEST EVER BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP
This soup is very delicious! Truly amazing, and also really healthy! Soup with barley is one of my favorite soups, and my children like it as well. I prefer to prepare a large quantity and save part of it in the freezer. It’s usually a good idea to have some soup in the freezer in case someone falls ill at any time.
Additionally, it may be prepared in a crockpot or slow cooker as well. After browning the meat, combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 4 to 6 hours, or till carrots are tender. This soup is excellent for a brisk winter day in the kitchen. It will fill you up since it is packed with delicious taste! It will be a hit with the youngsters as well!
