Kelly's Slow Cooker Beef, Mushroom, and Barley Soup

I came up with this slow cooker recipe for beef, barley, and mushroom soup after tinkering with a few other recipes. I've added celery and leeks before, but all it did was make the soup more chunky; it didn't really change the flavor.

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 cup barley

  • ¾ cup diced carrots

  • 1 (6 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms

Directions

  1. Season beef with garlic salt, salt, and pepper.

  2. Place seasoned beef into a slow cooker with stock, tomato sauce, water, barley, carrots, mushrooms, onion, garlic, and bay leaves. Stir to combine, then cover and cook on Low until soup thickens and beef is tender, about 6 hours.

Tips

If you have time, you can brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker, but it's not necessary.
