Beef Barley Soup is a classic. Rich and meaty with all that hearty, soft and comforting barley. It’s the best. The only problem with it is that barley takes a while to cook, so it's not ideal for weeknight dinners. Until now! I've partnered with Swanson to come up with a version of this beloved soup perfect for busy weeknights. Get out the slow cooker! And here's the best part -- you won't even need to brown your meat and veggies first. And if you've got the time to spare, I'm also sharing a stovetop recipe. Soup's on! #AD #Swanson Link here and in bio above: http://cookthestory.com/beef-barley-soup/ . . . . . #Igfood #instafood #foodstagram #cookstagram #bhgfood #huffposttaste #foodgawker #thekitchn #instagood #food #foodie #homemade #foodphotography #foodpics #recipe #soup #barley #winterfood #weeknightdinners #slowcooker

It's soup season! Learn how to make a delicious, hearty and healthy lentil soup. It has very few ingredients, is super-easy to make and is so utterly satisfying. Recipe below and in bio above. I’ve partnered with @swansonbroths for this recipe. As a Swanson blog ambassador, I've been having so much fun experimenting with their broths and stocks, especially since Swanson only uses the highest quality meats, farm-grown vegetables and seasonings.
