This Old Fashioned Beef Barley Soup was made on the stove top. However, can also be made in your slow cooker or pressure cooker.

I kid you not, this beef barley soup is the best I have ever tried.

But in order to have it be the best you must follow this recipe to a tea.

Trust me it is worth it!

Some people make this soup with hamburger meat. But that is not traditional nor is it near as good as using “stewing beef” it becomes tender in this soup and really makes it best.

I like to use larger chunks of beef for this soup. You can cut yours smaller if you prefer!

This soup can be made several ways! See below for those directions!
