Ingredients

    2 Tb Olive oil
    1 lb. Beef chuck cut into 1/2 " dice
    1 cup chopped carrot
    1/2 cup chopped celery
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
    32 oz. container low sodium beef broth
    1/2 cup pearl barley
    1 can diced tomatoes
    1 bay leaf
    1/2 tsp dried basil
    Salt and pepper to taste
    2 cups water (or amount to make 3 qts in pan)

Tips

Browning the meat in small batches allows it to get a nice color. If you try and brown it all at once, it just steams.


Directions

Heat 1 tb. olive oil in skillet and brown meat in batches. As it browns put meat into the soup pot. Add 1tb additional Tb oil to pan and brown onions, then add mushrooms and brown. Add garlic at the last minute and let heat until fragrant- about 1/2 minute. Add to soup pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to boil. Reduce heat and cook about 2 hours, until meat is tender. Remove bay leaf before serving.
