CROCK POT BEEF BARLEY SOUP

• Dice 2 ribs of celery, 1 medium potato, 1 1/2 carrots, and one medium onion. Add to a 3 1/2 quart or larger crock pot.
• Add 3 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 cup uncooked rinsed barley. Finally, add 4-5 cups beef broth.
• Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF AND BARLEY

Steps:

• Combine the beef, barley, mushrooms, celery, carrots, leeks, thyme, beef broth and soy sauce in a slow cooker. Add 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook on low, undisturbed, 8 hours. Uncover and skim off any excess fat. Transfer the beef to a cutting board, let cool slightly and slice or shred by hand into bite-size pieces. Thin the vegetable-barley mixture in the slow cooker with some water, if desired. Divide among shallow bowls and top with the beef. Serve with horseradish, if desired.
