Beef & Barley Soup

Ingredients:

• Water 9-10 cups
• Onion half cup chopped
• Pearl barley 1 cup
• Large bay leaf 1
• Boneless chuck roast 1 pound Cut into small pieces
• Carrots sliced 1 and a half cup
• Celery sliced 1 and a half cup
• Mushrooms sliced 8 ounces
• Beef base 2 tbsp You can use here beef broth as well but beef base works like a charm and I have to use just 2 tbsp for this recipe

PREPARATION:

Use a pan to cook the beef to your liking, such as how well done you like your meat.

When the beef is done, put it in a slow cooker. Add the carrots, water, bay leaf, onion, celery, mushrooms, and beef base.

Then add the barley and cook over a high flame. Add salt and pepper to taste, and cook until the beef and vegetables are done the way you like.

Take out the bay leaf and serve it with fish crackers, chili sauce, soy sauce, and lemon in a dish.

Enjoy !
