Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds Cooked stew meat cubes or chuck roast cubes Can use leftovers from a previous meal
  • 3-4 Carrots  Medium size, Peeled, Diced
  • 1.5 cups Onion  Finely chopped
  • 3-4 Potatoes  Medium size, Peeled, Cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 stalks Celery  Diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic  Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger Finely chopped
  • 6 cups Beef broth  Low sodium
  • 1 cup Red wine Optional, Or replace with beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon Tomato paste
  • ⅓ cup Tomato sauce  Or crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1-2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • ¾ Pearl barley
  • ¾ cup Frozen vegetables  Use a blend of your favorite veggies
  • 1-2 tablespoon Parsley  Fresh, Finely chopped, For garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a slow cooker, add cooked meat.
    If you don't have cooked meat, heat 2 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoon oil in a nonstick pan and saute beef over medium-high heat until golden brown. Then, add this into a crockpot.
  • Add carrots, onion, potatoes, celery, garlic, ginger, broth, wine, tomato paste, tomato sauce, mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, bay leaf, barley. Mix until combined.
  • Cover and cook on High heat for 4 hours.
  • Then, mix in frozen vegetables.
  • Cover and cook on Low heat for 2 hours.
  • Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The soup will get thicker because the barley will continue to absorb the broth. Mix in more broth or water, when heating,  to make it thinner again.
