  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 5 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean beef roast cut into bite-sized pieces (or use beef stew meat)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced or crushed
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 15 ounces beef broth
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 28 ounces canned petite diced tomatoes undrained
  • 15 ounces canned whole kernel corn drained
  • 2 cups frozen cut green beans
  • 2 cups sliced carrots fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup pearl barley uncooked
  • 2 tablespoons white wine or rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, beef, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sauté, stirring often, until meat is browned on the outside. Stir in garlic and cook 1-2 minutes longer.
  2. Pour in beef broth, wine, and tomatoes, and bring to a low boil. Stir in corn, green beans, and carrot, and return to boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about a half hour.
  3. Stir in barley, cover, and continue cooking for approximately one hour. Stir occasionally to make sure soup is still simmering. Add up to a cup of water if soup is thicker than desired. Stir in vinegar before serving to brighten the flavors.
