This soup is my mom’s recipe and let me tell ya, it is amazing!!! Nothing is better than a bowl of this on a cold night. Not only is it full of flavor, but its full of healthy veggies!! It freezes great too, so the leftovers can be stored for another evening! With the cold weather among us, this is just the thing to make!
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced (or the equivalent in garlic powder)
4 cups beef broth
3 cups water
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
1/2 cup medium Quaker Barley
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup sliced carrots
2 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 tsp Basil
1 (9 oz) package frozen mixed vegetable
Directions:
In a 4 quart saucepan or dutch oven, brown the ground beef. Add onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is tender; drain. Add remaining ingredients except the frozen vegetables. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer about 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add frozen vegetables and cook about 10 more minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add additional water or extra can of tomatoes if soup becomes too thick upon standing. Enjoy!
In Scotland we have a cheap cut of meat called boiling beef usually the basis of a great pan of soup.
We have stew beef that is a good option, but I almost always have ground beef on hand, which is why it calls for that. You can use either and I bet it will be just as good. How fun that you are fun Scotland, I’m jealous because I have never been, but all the pictures I see are gorgeous there!!
