This is another recipe from Janice’s Kitchen Corner – Beef, Barley, Beans and Kale Soup!
I put together this recipe for which is quick, easy and delicious. I love easy and delicious recipes. Don’t you? This is a nourishing and hearty soup. If you choose to make it without meat it can be vegetarian soup.
Cook dried beans for 1 hour, drain and set aside to be added to soup later (you can used canned beans instead and add at the end)
Brown beef shin bones in 2 Tbs olive oil
Mix ground beef with some of the chopped onion and combine with one egg to form meatballs
Brown in oil leftover from shin bones
Remove all meat and add rest of chopped onions to oil and saute with garlic
Add water and/or bouillon (I used 2 1/2 tsp beef bouillon paste to water)
Slice up meat from shin bones and add to water
Add sliced carrots and celery and cook for 10 minutes
Add Kale and continue to cook for 20 minutes or until tender
Add meatballs that were partially cooked to soup now and cook for a few more minutes
Add beans and barley mix to soup and mix through and shut off heat
Serve with crusty bread, add grated parmesan if you want
Enjoy!
This is a hearty meal that will last for a few days or you can freeze it for later.
