This is what we are having for dinner tonight. Due to the fact that my husband acquired some hog meat I am using cubed pork instead of the beef.
Beef Barley Mushroom Soup 1 large onion, minced 1/2 lb very lean beef stew meat, cut into 1/2 inch cubes 3 carrots, diced 3 celery stalks, diced 1/2 lb small white mushrooms, stems trimmed, quarted 1/4 lb shiitake mushrooms, stems trimmed, quarted 1 bay leaf 3 tbs minced Italian flat-leafed parsley 1 cup pearl barley 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 can (48 ounces) chicken broth 2 cups water- Lightly spray a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- Place the meat, onion, carrots, celery, white & shiitake mushrooms, bay leaf, parsley, barley, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker. Pour the broth and water over all and stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours, or until the meat, vegetables, and barley are tender. Add salt to taste.

It came out very good. I have plenty leftover so I will freeze some of it for future lunches.

I hope you like it. I think it came out great!
