A flavorful soup that is packed with flavor, quick to prepare, and the perfect meal for the Fall/Winter season!
For years, my mom made her tasty Vegetable Beef Barley Soup! Anytime she made meals for others, this would be the soup she prepared. Everyone went crazy over it and even all of you following the blog have LOVED the recipe!
Recently, she changed the barley to noodles and the end result was EVEN BETTER (in my opinion of course, hehe). Hearty and flavorful with tender noodles, veggies, and ground beef, this soup is a definite must try! Freeze the leftovers for a later date, or share with family and friends!
With Fall/Winter weather heading our way, this soup is a great way to warm up! Pair with some yummy bread and you have a fabulous meal!
From mom’s kitchen to yours, enjoy!!

Love your recipes.
fantastic
What frozen veggies? husband does not eat corn.
Can you do this in a crock-pot
Sure! Just cook the meat and drain it first, then put the rest in the crockpot on low for about 6-8 hours!
We use mixed veggies, but any frozen veggie you prefer will work!!
Awww, thanks! I am so glad you enjoy them!!
Thanks!!
If you cook soup in crock pot how will the noodles be
You can add cooked noodles in at the end of the cooking cycle, or add them uncooked about 2 hours (if on low) prior to being done and it will be great!
Could cube beef be used instead of ground beef Say sirlion cubed
I WOULD LIKE TO TRY THIS DELICIOUS SOON,PLEASE SEND IT TO MY E=MAIL THANK YOU.
Absolutely!!
Just emailed it to you, enjoy!
Amazing flavor . This recipe is a keeper for sure.
Yea! So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
How much barley would you use instead of noodles. I want to try it both ways. Thank you!
Great!
Enjoy!
Would love to have recipe. Please send to my e-mail. Thank you
Just sent over to your email!
Made this soup tonight and found it very tasty! My only change would be to cook the noodles separate and add them at the end. I used medium pasta shells and they were very mushy after cooking for an hour.I added an extra can of tomatoes but could still have used more liquid. Good recipe to play with-thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
This may be a dumb question but do you keep covered while simmering for the 45-50 min?
Not a dumb question! Yep, keep covered for the simmer! Enjoy!
Email please.
Would you like me to add you to my email list? Or email the recipe to you?
I think I make this for supper tonight. It looks delicious.
Yea!! Hope you enjoy it! Be sure to keep me posted!
Is it possible to do it in the slow cooker? Thanks.
Sure! But I would precook the beef! Add everything to the slow cooker for about 4 hours on low, add in the pasta and cook an additional 1-2 hours.
This looks Awsome, Gonna try this…. Thanks
Hope you enjoy, keep me posted!!
