Being the Sicilian
that I am, the 7 fish feast on Christmas Eve is my favorite. Yum!
Since we I have food on the brain, I figured I would
share my favorite winter recipe.
There is nothing like a hearty bowl of soup on a cold winter’s
day.
…and I’m so over
chicken noodle…
Hearty Beef Barley
Soup
(1-1/2) Lbs Beef Chuck (Stew Meat)
(1) Package Green Giant baby carrots
(2) Lbs Eastern Potatoes
(1) 16oz Can Diced Tomatoes
(1) Package Fresh Mushrooms
(1) Yellow Onion
(2) 24oz Beef Broth
(2) Cups Water
(3) Bay Leaves
(1) tbsp Lawrys Seasoned Salt
(1/2) tsp Dried Thyme
(1/2) tsp Dried Oregeno
(1) tsp Dried Parsley
(1) tsp Onion Powder
(1) tbsp Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper
(1) Cup Pearl Barley
With a cooking scissor, cut the beef cubes into bite size pieces. Brown them in a sauté pan. Drain the meat. Dice the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms until the water
evaporates and set aside. In a large
pot, dice the onion and cook until the onion is transparent. Shut off the flame. Add the beef and mushrooms into the pot. Dice the carrots and potatoes and add to the
pot. Add all other ingredients and stir
until well mixed.
Bring to a boil and then cook on low for 2-1/2 hours.
In a separate pot, boil the barley for 45 minutes.
For more of a stew, boil the barley in the soup itself.
The barley will soak up most of the juice.
This should make enough for (2) meals.
That means your
freezer will get full and you won’t have to cook one night next week. Score!
Will you try this winter recipe or do you have a different
one you want to share?
Having a night without cooking is sure a good thing. Freezers come in handy. You all look as happy as can be at your sea, glad your christmas was grand.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love cooking and freezing food. It makes life sooo easy!!! haha
DeleteSoo easy indeed, especially with the hours you work.
DeleteSoup sounds yummy! But what I really want is that seven fish feast! Ha.
ReplyDeleteAdorable photo....LOVE your hair curly.
Oh, the fishes were soooo yummy!!!! It's my favorite food holiday of the year. :)
DeleteThank you, Besty.
I agree. Nothing better than soup on a cold winter's day, especially Beef Barley. I've said it before, and I'll say it again... soup is good food! Unfortunately, any of my soup recipes just involve adding water and putting the soup in the microwave, soooo....
ReplyDeleteSoup is great food for the winter. My man even eats soup for mid breakfast-lunch snack EVERY day. Well, the canned kind. He does that no matter what season it is. LOL No soup and he's a cranky man... hahaha
DeleteOh I love that picture of you three - so perfect!!! That soup sounds amazing, I rarely make soup at home, but now I need to!! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston

LOL I do cook, although what I made last night my hubby did not enjoy. I tried to cook Cuban food. It didn't pass the taste test of a real Cuban. haha
DeleteThank you :)
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too!!!

ReplyDeleteAnd my east coast family all does the Feast of the Seven Fishes! I have always wished we on that coast some year to enjoy it with them.
That soup sounds really yummy!

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
