EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Pearl barley, its most common form, is the perfect slow cooker grain. The long, slow cook time turns barley tender, yet not gummy.

Select lean beef to prevent having to trim excess fat before adding the beef to the soup.

This was my first time cooking soup in my crock pot. It was very tasty with one downfall - the barley. The barley thickened the soup to the point that there was very little juice left. When heating leftovers, I will need to add a lagr amount of liquid to each container. Otherwise, the flavored were excellent!
