Third Step: Mix All Ingredients
Put the browned meat back in the saucepan with any excess juices. Finally, add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, and barley. After the mixture boils, lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
Fourth, Bring the Soup to a Simmer.
Once the barley is cooked and the meat is soft, cover the saucepan and boil the soup for 1.5 to 2 hours. If the soup becomes too thick, add extra broth or water; stir periodically.
Before serving, check the soup’s seasoning with a spoon and add more salt and pepper if necessary. In the last ten minutes of simmering, mix in any optional ingredients, such as peas or green beans.
Step6: Take It Easy and Savor It
Before serving, take the bay leaves out of the soup. Serve hot bowls of beef and barley soup with crusty bread and salad for a satisfying dinner.
