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!!

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
Kristin says
Glad you enjoyed it!

If you cook soup in crock pot how will the noodles be
Kristin says
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!
Jill Mackissock says
Can you do this in a crock-pot
Kristin says
Sure! Just cook the meat and drain it first, then put the rest in the crockpot on low for about 6-8 hours!
