Vegetable Beef Soup From Leftovers Recipes

ROAST BEEF & VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Bring barley and 3 cups water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Drain and set aside when barley is tender and cooked through.
• In a large soup pot over medium heat, add the oil, onion, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and edges begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Add any uncooked vegetables--in this case I had a small amount of raw potato, celery root, and cauliflower--along with the garlic, dry herbs, salt and pepper. Continue to cook until vegetables soften (add oil as needed), about 10 minutes.
• Add the broth, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind to the vegetables and bring to a low boil. Stir-in gravy, tomatoes, peas, (leftover) cooked vegetables, barley, and meat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes to meld flavors.
• Stir-in parsley the last 5 minutes of cooking, adjust seasoning for salt and pepper, to taste. Serve hot.
