Cozy up with a bowl of healthier beef barley soup. Packed full of flavor and so hearty! Under 200 calories per bowl.
When Kai was born, my mom stocked up our freezer with the most delicious, cozy hearty recipes: butter chicken, chicken cacciatore, and beef barley soup. Those recipes really kept us going during that crazy newborn stage!
It’s really been awhile since I had a nice bowl of beef and barley soup, and I thought it was time to get a recipe on the blog!
This soup recipe is packed full of hearty beef and barley, but also carrots, celery and the most delicious broth. Sometimes beef and barley soup can end up more like a stew, but for this recipe I wanted to make sure there was plenty of delicious broth!
We love this beef barley soup because
- it is hearty and comforting, but still packed with healthy ingredients
- it is freezer-friendly
- the beef ends up so tender and the barley has a nice chewy texture to it
