How to Make Denny's Vegetable Beef Barley Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup pearl barley, 6 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes!
  5. Season with salt to taste before serving.
