This Homemade Slow Cooker Beef & Barley Soup

is insanely delicious and surprising very easy.

It’s packed with flavor – comfort food at it’s best!

Feel free to add in your favorite veggies, I switch it up whenever I make mine!

It’s a perfect soup to make ahead of time because it freezes well.

A hearty soup that pairs perfectly with crunchy garlic bread for dipping!

In this recipe I used beef roast,

but any type of steak or ground beef will work if you’re in a pinch!

Slow cooker soups taste the best because they have hours of simmering, the flavors really come together!

I love to use my largest slow cooker when I make this soup, I make a huge batch and freeze the leftovers for lunch throughout the week!
