A chuck roast is cooked with barley and bay leaf in a slow cooker before it is cubed and added to a soup pot of simmering vegetables in a beef broth. With the cold weather upon us, nothing beats a bowl of hot soup, like this delicious vegetable beef soup. This soup is a classic that never fails to satisfy. It’s got beef and an assortment of carefully selected vegetables. Pearl barley is included to add some additional texture and carbs.
