    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 10
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    2 lbs. boneless arm roast
    2 (32 oz each) containers Hy-Vee beef broth
    1 large onion, coarsely chopped
    ½ c. hulled barley*, rinsed
    2 tsp. Hy-Vee Worcestershire sauce
    1 tsp. Hy-Vee dried thyme
    1 tsp. Hy-Vee dried oregano
    1 bay leaf
    Hy-Vee salt and Hy-Vee black pepper, to taste
    1 (14.5 oz) can Hy-Vee diced tomatoes, drained
    1 c. coarsely chopped celery
    2 c. coarsely chopped carrots
    8 oz. baby bella mushrooms, sliced
    ½ c. water
    ½ c. wild rice, rinsed

    Directions

    1. Trim excess fat from roast.
    2. In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, bring broth to a boil. Add roast, onion, barley, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Return to boiling; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
    3. Remove meat from pot; cut into bite-size chunks and return to pot. Add tomatoes, celery, carrots, mushrooms, water and wild rice. Return to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaf.
    4. To freeze for later, cool soup. Divide between two 1-gallon freezer bags. Seal, label and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator for 48 hours. Reheat in a stock pot or Dutch oven until heated through.
    5. *If using pearled barley, which only takes 45 minutes to cook, wait to add it with the tomatoes.
