Beef Barley Soup

This wonderful beef barley soup can be made right in your slow cooker. A perfect soup for those days when you don’t feel like cooking. Simply put everything in your slow cooker and let it do its magic. This soup has an incredible rich beef broth with plenty of yummy veggies and tender chunks of beef. This is one of my favorite soups. I add some crusty bread and the whole family gobbles it up. If you have any leftovers – you’re in luck, it’s even better the next day!
