2 Tbsp. olive oil (25 ml)
1 lb stewing beef, cut into small cubes (450 gm)
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
1 leek, white part only, washed and chopped
2 stalks of celery, diced

Many, many years ago, just home from the hospital with our second child, my mother-in-law sent over Beef & Barley Soup. Talk about a hug! I still remember how delicious it was and grateful it made me feel.
Elizabeth what a beautiful
Memory. It is so incredible how food taps into these memories stored away and immediately takes us back .
my dad was a scots man from paisley.
hes beef and barley soup was the one thing we all 6 kids just ate in silence...it was heaven.
i have copied this recipe to the letter.
and with english crusty bread and good butter i was 7 again.
10/10
That is so amazing. It's incredible how food has the power to transport us back to particular memory. I too love this soup and must definitely visit Scotland . Happy New Year
Love your recipes and humour
Rita Ranee thank you. I’m glad you enjoy that I’m having some fun. Stay safe and thank you for watching
Oh Yum!!! One of my favorites!!! These days I do a lot of "outreach" volunteering feeding our unsheltered population in my community...soup is ALWAYS the MOST popular thing I show up with....I love feeding soup, home made, to cold hungry weary folks...I see such a joyous person after their belly is filled with such deliciousness made with LOVE....
Soup is always a great way to show people you care. This is indeed a keeper. Hope you make it. Thank you !
I’ve made this twice now, third time tonight. Follow this recipe 100%, and you WILL have the best soup you’ve ever tasted. Thank you for this.
So glad to hear you love it !
Thank you so much for bringing happiness into my home. God bless
Best best best beef barley soup I’ve ever had. Pains me to say it, but it’s even better than mom’s. ( please don’t tell her I said it.). Truly a fantastic recipe. Follow it to a T, you won’t be sorry.
Thank you so much ! So glad you loved it as much as we do.
I’m making a big pot of this soup today. I’ve made it at least 5 times and it never disappoints! It freezes beautifully too. Thanks Christine❣
That is so great to hear !
That barley and beef soup does look so delicious and I love soups and my grandmother use to make it for us decades ago and we loved it with the cornbread we had. Since growing up I have not cooked any, but have eaten some when eating out at one Chinese restaurant. Be safe and may God continue to Bless you, and your family during these times of lock down.
I made corn bread this morning experimenting and I added green chili salsa (instead of milk)and a spoon of honey yogurt to a box mix and some bacon bits along with the eggs...OMG!!! I NOW LOVE cornbread!!! Lol
Im making this soup again today it's very rich in flavor and very delicious
Thanks Chistine.
Taking notes... writes down "bacon rub"... lines through it. lol. That looks fantastic.
Delicious soup! Thank you Christine for sharing, I'm planning to make some barley soup today.
You are most welcome ! It’s such a comforting soup
I love your quarantine kitchen. Lovely
Thanks for bringing this glorious healthy soup back to me. It had slid off my radar.
My pleasure ! It's such a great soup .
I made this for dinner last night. Amazing! It took me back to when I was a little girl, sitting in my Grandmother's kitchen. She would always make me eat soup, especially this one. I added a bit of finely minced fresh rosemary and it was lovely. Thank you!
Ah that is so amazing to hear. I love your rosemary touch. A visit to your grandmother's kitchen is always a welcome sensation. Thank you
Grazie Christine for your most delicious, scrumptious recipes. You simplify the techniques which makes it easier to follow the steps.
Hi Christine...man oh man but that looks so good. I love a good hearty soup. Favourite kind of meal for me. Take care stay safe.
I often make soups especially on cold, winter Calgary days. I have made beef & barley and it is very comforting, but now I want to try your recipe. Take care and stay healthy!
Right now in Alberta 4 degrees, so this is perfect for dinner!!!! Thanks for sharing 😋😋😋
Oh my goodness this recipe is brought back so many memories of my grandmother truly it was her favorite suit she was Canadian and she had to make it two or three times during the winter thank you for the good memory
You are a Joy to watch cook! I love the quarantine kitchen sign. Your tips are so helpful and I’m not new at cooking. But you make me rethink things I’ve done wrong. I could eat in your house any day😊😊😊
Thank you. Yes. I love this soup.
Thanks fo much !
Here in Singapore, while staying home, I watch this Canadian channel, Makeful, daily (I’ve never watched that much TV in my life! 😆). And there is this program Fearless in the Kitchen S2 that runs over and over again with different and sometimes same episodes and guess what, I don’t get tired watching over and over because of YOU and your lovely humor, Christine! And when I “searched” you on UA-cam, I found you!! 🙃 Thank you for sharing such great recipes! And this beef and barley soup looked so comforting and I hope to be able to copy that real soon. 👍👍👍
Jan Lim oh wow that’s so funny that Fearless is airing no in Singapore. Did I mention how much I love it there ? The food. 👏👏👏. I hope you see my show that we shot throughout Asia and in Singapore “ Confucius was a Foodie”. Be safe
The food that binds! 🤣 I didn’t know about Confucius was a Foodie and will surely look it up! Thanks. How you can whip up a meal so effortlessly on Fearless in the Kitchen always amaze me! Be safe, be strong, be healthy!
Hi Christine, so thrilled to discover your stunning recipes. Hallo from a freezing Bloemfontein South Africa ❄️🌹🌹🌹
My pleasure ! Thanks
One of my favourite soups!
Sarah mine too !
You were fantastic! Very informative and a great presentation,
Thank you !
I made this soup and it was DELICIOUS! Wow. Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I made it and was very delicious. very delicious yummy .
Thank you! I need as much normal life as I can get. Just found you and made the beef dish with a bottle of Pinot in it. I can’t spell the French word that starts with a b off the top of my head. This has a similar start to it. I even bought barley a few weeks ago. Thank you again for sharing your cooking with us down here in Wisconsin. I am surrounded by chaos and anger and hide in the house until I must go out.
I’m sorry to hear that you were going through a rough time but happy that you made the beef ! Be safe and thank you
Bourguignon

Love for using bacon as a starter instead of oil I will try that for sure 😘
Vicky Besim yes the bacon really adds an additional note and more depth to the soup.
I just started watching and loving your soups. I going to make the garbanzo bean soup .
Love it!!!
It’s nice to see a real chef cook something simple
Thank you .. Glad you enjoyed it

That looks delicious, never thought of squash, good idea. I always put too much barley in mine, I will change that, more is not better.

It is super comforting. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much I’m making this tonight for the family🥰
Fantastic ! How did it turn out?
Your kitchen looks lovely!! Oh your basil is why!! 😃😃😃
It's a such pleasure and so inspiring to follow you🌹
And thanks for sharing your secrets!
It's my pleasure
Your soup looks amazing Christine. Next time I make it I’m definitely using your version! Yum 😋
Thank you !
Very nice. I would add a pack of frozen peas while it is resting, but that looks good!
Love your cooking!
Thank you !
Amazingly done video.
Very nice as always.
Christine can you please do a video of Red bell pepper soup?
Thank You .
Thank you so much !
Looks very delicious !!!
It's such a favourite in our house. !
This is a good.video I make a Scotch Broth soup regularly and was pleased to know that while the ingredients are a bit different, the basics remain the same. It was fun see myself in this. Now I just have to find where I can buy tomato paste in a tube. That would make my life easier.
I froze my dill and parsley and it works like a charm. Thank you for this excellent tip. No more waste and I always have it on hand. It's like freeze dried herbs. Would it work for coriander and thyme? Love this tip. 😁
Just found your channel ! EXCELLENT ! Going to make this and your mushroom soup too 👍😍❤️Can’t wait to try more of your recipes too ❤️You should have a show on Food Network ❤️❤️👍👍👍
Thank you so much ! Hope you make all the soups. Thank you .. I have been on the Food Network in Canada for a while now , so perhaps a US show could be in my future. Be well and see you in the kitchen
Yummy
😋
Good morning Christine this is quite a while after you posted this video but I'm going to mention it anyways. Got up this morning at 9 a.m it was -42 degrees outside I live in Saskatchewan. It has warmed up considerably since then it just now only-40 degrees. Guess what I will be making today you bet beef barley soup hahaha. Love your cooking take care and stay safe.
haha ! I love that Canadian prarie sense of humour. I'm sure it felt balmy by the end of the day ...like - 35 or so? I'm so glad you made the beef and barley soup. How did you love it? Stay warm.
Looks wonderful 👍😍
BTW, you, dear are one of my favorite Chefs on UA-cam !!!!
Thank you so much
This is a how I make my beef stew. Never thought to add barley
It would be a great addition. Thx !
i am wondering.. can i use the pork cube instead of using beef? those recipes look good. I just stumble your video and watch it.
Thanks Christine, I will make this right now, you are the best! I'm from Aylmer, Qc. I'm rather lazy and is it okay to use my slicer for the carrots and celery instead of chopping?
Haha ! Of course you can use your slicer. I hope you love the soup. Thanks
The soup was great, next time I'll put less barley did not listen to your advice used a bit more than half a cup way too much, this stuff grows haha! I'm 78 and still trying, soup made many meals for me and hubby. Thanks again. How's your home made beans my husband of 50 years has been looking for bean recipe like the ones you buy in the store, he calls them white beans. I have tried different recipes but can't get them the way his mother used to make them. I will try them with lard and onions, do you think this would be good.
Loved the soup. How, for personal preference could i get the soup a bit thicker? Thank you.
I wonder if you could add potatoes? That might do it, especially if you smashed a few against the side of the pot when its cooked.
@@Elizabeth-ju5dy Thank you. I'll give that a go.
nawty two you could add potato but also you could just dredge the meat in a little flour before browning , that will give the soup a bit more body. Using a buy more barley also produces a thicker soup. I hope these help !
this is really interesting.. love to try it one day!!! :)
lunasun sun I hope you do. I have also made it vegetarian and it’s great - different but still delicious.
@@ChristineCushing i will do that like you did it... because i know that will be amazing!!! :)
I froze my dill and parsley and it works like a charm. Thank you for this excellent tip. No more waste and I always have it on hand. It's like freeze dried herbs. Would it work for coriander and thyme?
Ghyslaine Belanger so glad you love the herb freezing tip ! Yes I actually have both thyme and coriander in my freezer.
Can you do a Calzone episode?
Not to change the subject, but you mentioned comfort foods, and yes, good savory soups are some of the best things. With that in mind, may I ask you to bring to us a good chicken corn soup recipe?
Can u do a video of beef mince and rice
People talk about chicken soup as Jewish Penicillin, given a choice, I would rather have homemade beef and barley soup. I think it's my favourite soup, nothing against chicken soup though. Stay safe wherever you are, this storm will end.
Very good, and U R so sweet!!
Laszlo Mezei thank you so much !
Where do I click to PRINT THE RECIPE???
Why aren’t you on the cooking channel?
Folks, it will help if you understand barley better, so here are some pointers.
When barley is harvested, each grain sits inside a tough, inedible husk. The first task is to remove this husk. Such barley is called "Hulled Barley" because it has had this husk or "hull" removed. Hulled Barley has 100% of the thin, edible (and healthy for you) bran still covering each grain.
This is the barley-equivalent of brown rice, if you will, and just like brown rice is chewier than white rice, Hulled Barley is chewier than Pearled Barley. Also, just like brown rice, Hulled Barley requires more time to cook.
When the barley producer polishes off all of this bran coating the resulting product is called "Pearled Barley" because the resulting grain is white and rounder, much like a little pearl.
This is the barley-equivalent of white rice, if you will, and just like white rice is softer than brown rice, Pearled Barley is softer than Hulled Barley. Also, just like white rice, Pearled Barley requires less time to cook.
In between these two types of barley is what is called "Pot Barley." Pot Barley has only SOME of the brain polished off the grain, resulting in a SLIGHTLY chewier, SLIGHTLY more nutritious barley product than Pearled Barley. As you can imagine, its chewiness falls between Pearled Barley and Hulled Barley, and its cooking time falls between Pearled Barley and Hulled Barley as well.
PLEASE make this recipe three times, each time using a different type of barley to see which one you like better. This is a really good recipe to test this.
Also, consider making your favorite type of barley as a side dish in place of rice for a nice change of pace.
I hope this helps.
That would be good with suet dumplings
Parmigiano. mmmmm.
I'm not a big fan of chuck because it requires so much fat trimming and so long to tenderize. I prefer to use a cheap sirloin cut that tenderizes in about 45 minutes cut in 3/4" cubes. That keeps the mirepoix a little more firm. I have never tried squash or root vegetables. Looks like a nice touch. Another channel used a parsnip. I make smaller batches with 1lb of meat and about 1 quart vegetable broth with 1/2 cup of Bob's Redmill pearl barley. I also add a touch of either soy sauce, or Worcestershire sauce. I also like to put in 1 tbs of the tomato paste in the tube. I love that stuff.
Shoulder is my favorite cut for flavor, but the ideal for this soup, I'd say, is shin meat, which also gives you marrow.
MS CHRISTINE , TELL ME PLEASE HOW YOU MAKE TRAXANA THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I am not very experienced in traxana but I buy it either soured or not in a package and just boil it in water , seasoned with salt and some cheese like a pilaf. The package usually has some decent directions. I hope this helps .
did something similar with left over prime rib. it was amazing. I know, how can there be leftover prime rib! lol
Great tip to chop, refrigerated/freeze herbs. I throw out so much because it goes bad.
Also... I want to make your beef barley soup but I will cut up a piece of Chuck roast instead of buying the cubes for stew meat. Searing never turns out like yours In the video. I can see I am doing something wrong.

Is Christine Cushing Tina Fey's prettier sister ?
You should invest in a camera pointing at the food and a camera pointing at you. You're missing some perfect shots that Adam Ragusea has and you have the better expertise.
She has the crazy part right.
That meat needs to slow cook for 3 hours minimum. Too long in pan, too low a heat to sear. You fully cooked it before adding liquid. Then didn't continue long enough.
Never met a butternut squash that is liked, absolutely terrible!
Some advice to the cameraman, show the cooking action when you doing something and not your face!!!!!!
I will pass on the pig part but the rest is fine.
Herbs ....not erbs😤
I'm sorry, but bacon and rosemary are hideous touches. Bacon easily ruins soups.
That’s not a ‘little’ salt. Oh no more salt.
Chefs use salt. It’s flavour and unless you have high blood pressure it causes no harm. I can’t imagine cooking without salt.
The meat is too fatty...
Love it!!
So glad! It's such a delicious soup . Thank you
