Beef Barley Soup with Toasted French Bread

Homemade Soup Time!  Beef-Barley Soup

The Beef-Barley Soup the plan for  the day using some left over roast beef.  I like to “re-purpose”  meat into soups. better known as left-overs    The seasoning on the meat is additional seasoning and flavor for the soup. We like our soups thick and chunky, rather than pureed.  There are many delicious soups when using variety in the grains, pasta, and vegetables with or without meats/poultry.

This  beef had a rub of thyme, onion powder, course pepper and kosher salt when it was roasted.  Two cups of the cooked roast beef was cut into 1/2 inch thin pieces for.  the soup. Onion, celery and mushrooms provided the vegetables to the grain.  of barley.  In this soup,  rice  or vegetables could be used instead of the barley or stew meat

 A word about barley…….

There is healing power in eating barley providing vitamin E, the trace mineral selenium and compounds that have antioxidant benefits to increase disease protection.  Eating barley can help lower cholesterol, reduce the formation of blood clots, improve digestion, and reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.  (Selene Yeager and Editors of Prevention, The Doctors Book® of Food Remedies, Rodale Inc.   , 2007 p.73 ff.
