Introduction

Great barley -burger soup. It is named for our beloved Lab who had it on his dried dog food for many years. I'd make him a fresh batch every week. This is human food that smells great cooking. Men, women, children, and dogs love it. Great barley -burger soup. It is named for our beloved Lab who had it on his dried dog food for many years. I'd make him a fresh batch every week.

Ingredients

    1 pound lean ground round (96% lean)
    1 medium sweet onion, diced
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    3/4 cup frozen whole corn
    1 can Italian green beans
    1 can diced tomatoes (fire-roasted preferred)
    3/4 cup dried pearl barley
    4 to 6 cups water
    1 beef bullion cube
    2 carrots, diced
    2 stalks celery, diced
    2 teaspoons dried basil

Directions

Over medium heat, brown the ground beef in a dutch oven that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Stir while browning so beef in small pieces. When the meat has only a little pink left add the onions & garlic. Cook a couple more minutes.
Add the corn, green beans, tomatoes, barley, bullion cube, 4 cups water, carrots & celery.
When soup reaches a boil, add the basil, and reduce heat to simmer.
Add more water if desired. Let simmer for at least 90 minutes. Two hours are the best.
Soup freezes well. This makes a little more than 2 quarts.
