For an even richer flavor, consider searing the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Pearl barley works best in this recipe and holds its shape well during the long cooking time. Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, potatoes, or turnips to customize the soup to your liking. This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
