Crockpot Tuscan Beef Barley Soup

This recipe for Crockpot Tuscan Beef Barley Soup is a family favorite that’s beyond simple to prepare and tastes oh so delectable. Enjoy every last drop!

Soups are a staple in my house. We have soup for dinner at least twice a week and throughout the year.

Especially when I make the soups in my handy dandy crock pot. It’s so easy. No fuss and always delicious.

Here is our newest version of barley soup. This time I added beef. You can easily make it without the meat too.

We happen to have two other barley soups on the blog, one with chicken and one vegetarian. Check them both out and be sure to try this one too.

The meat falls apart and is so tender while the soup is so hearty and tasty.

Ingredients: 

• 1 carton (32 ounces) beef broth
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes
• 1 1/2cups water
• 1 cup frozen cut green beans
• 2 cups fresh baby carrots
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 large onion, either chopped or peeled and left whole
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh red or green pepper
• 1 pound beef stew meat
• 2/3 cup uncooked barley, first rinsed in cold water
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 3/4 tsp sea or kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
• 1 tsp grated parmesan cheese over each bowl, optional
  

  Directions:

  1. Spray a large crockpot with cooking spray or use a plastic liner.
  2. Place all ingredients in crockpot, cook on high 4 to 5 hours or low for 8 hours. That’s it! Don’t forget the crusty bread.
