This was awesome. Just like my grandmother used to make and I have never been able to find a similar recipe. This nailed it and truly melts in your mouth. I only had quick pearl barley and it was fine. My husband is not a beef eater but loved this.

Comforting, hearty, warming! I love the deep rich flavours. The beef is melt in your mouth. Our new household favourite! Best of all – the ingredients are all house staples. Win!

Hello- I love all of your posts. I tried my hand at beef barley soup. Added some green beans for “vegetable beef barley “. It is delicious! Thank you.

Hi Ron,

thank you for your kind words and question 🙂

You can just leave the carrots out and add a touch of sugar (1/8 teaspoon) to replace the sweetness from the carrot.

Take care & have fun cooking

Hi, always love your recipes and step by step instructions. My wife HATES cooked carrots and I’m just wondering if you think just leaving them out will change flavor much or is there possibly a substitute you’d recommend?

Hi Linda,

thank you for your kind words and question 🙂

You can substitute the fish sauce and soy sauce with low sodium soy sauce.

Take care & have fun cooking

Your recipes all seem to recommend regular soy sauce. I only use the lower salt brands. Things like fish oil and soy sauce, plus several other oriental sauces, are killers to those of us that have to limit salt because of bad hearts. I leave out additional salt from recipes. Any suggestions? Love the recipes I have used!
