Beef and Barley Soup

Method

1. Prepare the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced carrot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

2. Simmer the barley: Pour in the beef broth and stir in the barley. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover the pot and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the barley is tender.

3. Incorporate the beef: Stir in the cooked diced beef. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 5 minutes, ensuring the beef is heated through.

4. Season and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for a burst of flavor.
