- Imagine the aroma of a hearty One-Pot Beef and Barley Soup simmering away in your kitchen. Instead of hours on the stove, the Instant Pot has it ready in a fraction of the time. Tender chunks of beef are seared to perfection, creating a rich, savoury base. Sautéd onions, carrots, and celery add their natural sweetness, enhancing the deep, robust flavor of the beef.
Add a generous portion of barley, which will cook to a delightfully chewy texture, absorbing all the flavours of the broth.
In under an hour, you have a bowl of warmth that tastes like it’s been simmering all day. The beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender, the barley is perfectly cooked, and the vegetables are soft yet retain a bit of bite. Each spoonful delivers a taste of home, filling you with a sense of comfort and satisfaction. This Instant Pot beef and barley soup is not just a meal; it’s an experience of flavour and convenience, perfect for busy days when you crave something wholesome and delicious.
This hearty dish combines two of the oldest cultivated foods: beef and barley.
Barley is one of the oldest grains cultivated by humans, with evidence of its use dating back to ancient Mesopotamia around 10,000 years ago. It was a staple in ancient diets due to its nutritional value and versatility. Barley was often used in soups and stews, a typical food preparation method in ancient times.
During the Middle Ages, barley was a staple grain for many European communities, particularly in northern and eastern regions where it thrived in the colder climate. Although less commonly consumed than today, beef was also a part of the medieval diet, especially among the nobility and during times of surplus. Beef and barley soup was a practical dish, utilizing preserved meats and hardy grains to create a nourishing meal that could sustain people through harsh winters.
In Scotland, barley is a traditional crop, and beef and barley soup, known as "Scotch broth," is a classic dish. Scotch broth typically includes lamb or mutton, but beef is also commonly used. The soup is a testament to Scottish agricultural practices and the importance of barley in the local diet. It has been a staple in Scottish households for centuries, celebrated for its ability to provide warmth and sustenance.
As people migrated and cultures mingled, beef and barley soup evolved. In North America, it became popular among settlers who brought their culinary traditions. The soup adapted to local ingredients and cooking methods, but the core elements-beef, barley, and vegetables-remained constant.
Today, beef and barley soup is enjoyed worldwide. It is appreciated for its rich flavor, nutritional benefits, and comforting qualities. Modern conveniences like the Instant Pot have made preparing easier, allowing even the busiest individuals to enjoy this historic and hearty dish.

I love Barley...I enjoy watching you cook and have made many of of your recipes and I always thumb up even if don´t comment.These good old recipes many of us Brits grew up with and can make already but you always find a "twist"..I think it´s fantastic that you have lots of folk from different parts of the world here visiting your channel and young people,and some older ones, who will benefit so much from your skills in the kitchen. It´s great to see the channel growing.....I don´t know how you manage to answer all the comments still. ....x
I try to make it a point in answering anyone who has taken time to write. I do miss some ! Can't help that there 's many. Thank you. I appreciate all you do for the channel. Best, Rik
Ham pea and barley is the common soup variety in Scandinavia .
I live barley and it’s one thing that’s not increased 8 times in price these last 4 years😣
I’m going to try this, looks really good
When I cannot afford meat I make red lentil, barley and vegetable soup, yummy , with bread it's a full meal . 🇦🇺💜
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
I make Masoor dhal all the time,but have never thought to add barley,I will try that,do you cook the barley first then add the lentils,and veg?😊
Love lentils. I don't use much meat but that would make a great soup.
Nice substitution. Sounds yummy!
It’s winter in Australia, that’s just what I need! Thanks Rik!
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Love any soup. I would cook this in the crock pot. I am afraid of any pressure-cooking device. My mother once had her pressure cooker blow up on her and the lid imbedded in the ceiling. Your wife is a very lucky woman getting to eat your cooking.
The Instant pots are very safe and not rattling about like our old stove top ones. I understand though and yes the crock-pot make a great job. Thank you. Best, Rik
Today‘s Pressure Cooker’s are really safe! I was afraid of them but now use one myself 😊 but Crockpot‘s are great as well.
Ha Ha Same thing happend when I was a kid. We had a stain and dent in the ceiling for a while. Always kept an ear out for the chu-chu-chu of the wobbly thing on top of it in case it blocked up again and went supa nova
@@Hellsditch my grandmother had this chu-chu-chu wobbler thing in the 1960's/70's too. almost forgot. thanks for reminding me. 😅
@@BackyardChef
I subscribe, like, and greatly enjoy your wonderful videos, although I rarely comment. I learnt to cook a very long time ago, at my mother's knee, and share the concern of those who wrote about pressure cookers. I will look into the Instant Pot, since I batch cook a lot of soups, stews, and dried beans. Thank you to those who shared their memories of those things.
Best wishes.
Please do more soups as I adore soups and stews all year. Barley soup with a big fat fluffy dumpling ❤️❤️❤️🥰👍🏼
I love soups all year round - I do cook them in the Instant pot and folks saying they don't have one. I have a couple more uploads to come anyway. Thank you. Best, Rik
We forgot about these nourrishing soups. We often had cooked beef with horseradish sauce and taters on Sundays, and Saturday evening such a soup with chunks of the lovely meat. A wonderful dinner...thank you for the delicious reminder!
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
I don't have an instant pot but slow cooker should do the trick!
Yes indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik
I absolutely love soup, whatever the season & this looks like a belter Rik, plenty of crusty buttered bread for dunking & you have an economical, filling & nutritious complete meal! Still saving up to buy my instant pot, but hope to eventually purchase one next month 🤞. This will be the first recipe I’ll try, look forward to it!😋 Thanks as always for sharing Rik, much appreciated! xx 👨🍳🥣 😋👌💖
David, I can assure you - you will get your monies worth out of it - Its so easy to use and the results are outstanding. (I'm not sponsored I just use it) Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef 👍 Can’t wait to try it out, will be a boon for batch cooking & stocking up my freezer with soups & stews for winter & making the most of tougher, cheaper cuts of meat & cutting down on energy bills too! Win - win! 😊👌
Not sure of your opinion or availability of Amazon but Instant Pot usually goes on sale on Prime Day which should be the second week of July.
@@dianeladico1769 Oh, I had no idea, thanks so much for sharing that info Diane, truly appreciated 🙏. I’ll keep an eye out for a bargain hopefully !🤞😊
Second time that I have watched and I gained more confidence using the instant pot pressure cooking method. My next grocery shopping includes a budget cut of beef and more barley grains. I can taste this soup in my mind as it was a frequent winter meal during my childhood on a Cariboo Region cattle ranch. A pot was often simmering on the enormous wood stove to feed and warm the hungry workmen and grandchildren like me.
Wonderful! You got this! Thank you. Best, Rik
Pretty much the recipe I follow but I also add some cubed potatoes for an extra hearty soup. 👍Simple but great recipe Rik!
Thank you. Love the name, by the way. Best, Rik
Good old fashioned grub that sticks to ya ribs love it ! Meals from my childhood 🧡 love watching you channel and saving your recipes,, hello from the east coast of Australia 🇦🇺 mate 😃
Thank you. Love to OZ. Best, Rik
I'm saving this video for later.. Love beef and barley soup, and this looks like a really good recipe.. Your finished product looks delectable! I'm in Texas, and it's really heating up for Summer.. This would make a lovely Winter meal. Your recipes are so nice.
Thank you. Its 38 degrees here today in Thailand. Best, Rik
Rik, I don’t have an Insta pot so I can make this in my crockpot. This takes me back to my childhood because my mom would make beef barley soup another winner.
Yes indeed - easy too! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yummy and hearty! Nice write up too!😎
Thank you. A little longer than usual. Best, Rik
In a rainy ☔ day like today, I'd love to enjoy that TREMENDOUS soup, thanks Nik! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Thank you. Best, Rik
This is really great video I have to make it my mum used to make. Blessings ❤
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks scrumptious .
Thank you. Best, Rik
JUST LOOK...AT THAT😋 looks amazing Rikmeister! I'm having a pork rogan josh today with garlic and coriander naan breads...I haven't made them😂 Pataks must take the credit
Sounds great mate. I actually saw some Pataks here last week in one of the big supermarkets. Thank you. Best, Rik
I absolutely love soups and stews. So much so that I have to remind myself not to make them too often for Sunday dinner, because some in my large family are not as addicted as I am.
I especially love old tried and true family recipes handed down through the ages. I also love discovering international recipes, especially the many regional versions of Asian broth recipes.
Thanks for this, another great video!
I'll be heading out to the grocery store shortly to make this one for supper this evening.
Hope you enjoy. This is a real meal. Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Rik I have recently bought a pressure cooker and I I’m enjoying making the soups. Can’t believe how quick they cook. Thanks Rik I’ll try this one.
Yes very quick. Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks grand
Thank you. Best, Rik
My must make list is getting longer and longer. lol Nice one again Rik. many thanks , how you manage to bang one out every day is unbelievable the work you put into it all, the shopping the cooking, the filming and editing, is so time consuming, when do you get a day off.
Cheers, mate. Not had a day off in years - love work! Appreciate you noticing mate. Thank you. Best, Rik
I can’t wait to try this. Reminds me of my father’s oxtail barley soup from my childhood.
Thank you. Best, Rik
That's a tasty, wholesome soup. I love soups and stews. Beef stew being a particular favourite. Thanks for sharing, Rik.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Great job rik that looks delicious right up my street and with bread and butter🙂
Thank you. Best, Rik
First time I’ve seen how to cook barley! Thank you.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Beef barley soup...The best
Thank you. Best, Rik
Beef barley soup, one of my favorites! Thank you!
Thank you. Best, Rik
My absolute favorite soup in the whole world. I've only ever had the canned version. I can't wait to make this recipe!! Thank you, Rik! You rock.
You are very welcome - homemade is the way to go. Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks delicious. I think I gotta get me one of those instant pots 👍🏻🤙
Handy bit of kit! Thank you. Best, Rik
Pulses are so underrated in the UK...but they make superb dishes,
A soup to my heart, scrumptious 😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
You have just reminded me to buy Barley. I used to cook it and freeze. So filling and breaks down fat. Lovely soup. Thanks Rik
One of the most underrated ingredients we could all use. So healthy too! Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks great! My mom used to make beef and barley soup when I was little. That soup was the only reason we bought barley. I probably haven't had it in 35 years. Quaker sells a quick cook barley here in the US. Thanks for the nostalgia! Not making this until fall, but I am excited.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Well did you make it?
@@ajrwilde14 it's not fall yet! Not until the first frost. Soon, though, barley is in my cupboard...
This is a great favourite in our area in northern Canada and I cook this often in our Soup Kitchen when the weather turns cold (can get to -50C in Dec.-Jan. here), especially for people who have to spend time outdoors in those bitter temperatures. Good economical source for nutrition and a high energy, satisfying food.
Depending on the budget and donations, I use stew meat, minced beef or cube up an Eat Your Boots tough cut of beef as you did. Moose and deer meat (which can be chewy) work very well also but I have to add a good quantity of diced tomatoes to tame the meat flavor. Then you can't tell the difference from beef.
If you use less liquid and add some cubed potatoes, then you have Beef Barley Casserole, another crowd pleaser and a good satisfying meal for people who work physically hard outdoors in nasty weather. Even among the fussy, Full of Food Restrictions People, no one turns away a bowl of this soup or casserole.
Yes I add potatoes here - to fill it out. This recipe I kept it to beef and barley. I don't think I could do the -50 no way. Thank you. Best, Rik
Bless you for feeding people. May that kindness be returned to you many times over.
that's what you call a right hearty soup and it looks delicious. 😃
I agree! Thank you. Best, Rik
yes, your barley soup looks tasty and i would give it a try, though the recipe i've learned from my mother is quite different.
thanks for the reminder that there are always several ways to interpret/change/evolve/improve a recipe.
Thank you. Many ways. Best, Rik
Just in time for winter in SA. We love soup and dumplings. This looks tasty. Thanx Rik
Thank you. Love to SA. Best, Rik
Looks so good. Pass the buttermilk biscuits please and I'm in heaven. Blessings to all ❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Darn if i couldnt eat thst whole pot when i eas younger! Mouth watering!
Thank you. Best, Rik
👌 Soup-erb, as you say!
I happened to have some meaty pork bones and barley looking for direction .. now part of my supper, thanks Rik!
Ha ha ha, love it. Thank you. Best, Rik
Love ox tails and barley soup as well!
Thank you. Best, Rik
WOW RIK.... I LOVE SOUP THANK YOU FOR SOUP RECEPIE 👌😋❤️
Thank you. Best, Rik
Just what I need mate, winter here and a pot of this will warm me up
Cheers
Thank you. Its 38 degrees here. Thailand and I still eat it. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I'm sure you could spare 10 degrees for new Zealand lol
Couldn't stop thinking about this after watching the video so I made it today. It was superb everything you said about it was true. Now I can't wait to make it again. Albert.
Hi, Albert. Everything on the channel is easy to make and all the recipes work. Its just down to taste. taste and adjust - chuck in or out what you like to eat. Thank you. Best, Rik
Do u do home delivery 🤔🤔🤔
Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks delicious, love barley but haven't used it lately so will do this. thank you Rik
Thank you. Best, Rik
My mum always used barley in stews bloody loverly on cold winter’s night that looks lovely wallop👍🏿
Wonderful. Thank you. Best, Rik
"Tough as old boots". Funny thing about beef, in most cases the tougher it is the more flavor. Not like lamb, chicken, or pork, that tastes like lamb, chicken or pork no matter for the most part. Worcestershire sauce is NOT optional sorry Rik LOL. If you do not have this sauce in your kitchen then you can't afford a computer to watch this video. This recipe is superb. This is Mom food. Thanks Rik.
Cheers, Mate. You know I go for the tough cuts if using the pressure cooker - the results are outstanding. I could show so many recipes using the pressure cooker - folks don't have one! I understand why. They used to be shocking to use on the stove top. These new fangled ditties are amazing! Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks great, love barley in soups. . I don’t want more kitchen gadgets but you make a good case for the instant pot. My old pressure cooker doesn’t work with induction.
Brian if you look round my kitchen I have minimal gadgets and all I use. I have many old stove top pressure cookers (from the old days) Easier with the new fangled modern cooker. Thank you. Best, Rik
I like to add a teaspoon of mighty yeast extract when sauteing my onions just that little extra flavour . I love beef and barley soup .
Thank you. Best, Rik

Have a guess what's cooking tomorrow. Grand children will taste some really good food. Thanks Rik. Peace and goodwill.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love soup in my instapot, I'll be trying this one. Cheers Rik.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love both beef barley,and mushroom barley,really good soups.The only thing I would change in your lovely recipe is the herb,I would prefer thyme with a barley soup.As I live alone I bought a small instapot,which isn’t big enough for soups,as I like to have them for a few days,so I just cook soups on the gas stove.Thank you Rik😊
There is a good tsp of dried thyme in here - the rosemary is secondary - great soup, fantastic taste. I'm with you - I make a full pot of soup and have it a couple of days. Thank you. Best, Rik
One of my favourites!🙏
Thank you. Best, Rik
Made a beef and barley/ vege stew last week. Yummo.
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
I’m definitely going to have to make this
Thank you. Best, Rik

It really is! Thank you. Best, Rik
Oo yes this looks a fantastic soup Rik thank you I can eat eat soup anytime , amandaxx
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Watching you gave me the confidence to use my instapot for the first time yesterday. A big roast today this wonderful soup
Fantastic, Mary. I will be making a roast beef dinner in a couple of days - Yorkshires etc. the full Monty - using the Instant pot and oven. Thank you. Best, Rik
It was a wonderful soup just finished a bowl
Thank you. Best, Rik
Beef and Barley, my favorite! In fact, I just made one about 3 weeks ago.
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
Ayup Rik, I keep thinking about buying an instapot. Looks like I may need one for those winter days when you need a hearty, warming meal without waiting for hours on end. Cheers mate, Norm.
Norm, they are a fantastic bit of kit. Not like the old days of stove top pressure cookers, scaring the heck out of everyone. I use it all the time. As you know I'm not sponsored in any way - I do recommend it. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Thanks for the advice Rik. We used to have the old type when I was a kid, was a bit scary when it vented 😲🤣😂 Take care mate 😉
My mother used to make it with wonderful marrow bones❤
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
chunky soups 😋 with bread and butter 🤤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Nice one Rik, i leave out tomatoes as they don't agree with me. Not a big deal, we all just learn to modify our recipes for what we like best.
Agreed - taste and adjust chuck out or in. Thank you. Best, Rik
That'll stick your ribs together! Wow!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Love this one Rik.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I’m cooking this tonight yummy
Thank you. Best, Rik
My mouth was watering. I love barley in soup and stews. Can you remember when you could buy lamb neck chops? Not much meat on them but they made a great hotpot with barley and vegetables. Lots of sliced tatties on top. It was cheap as chips, but can’t seem to get that cut anywhere now. I’ll definitely make this in my ninja though xx
You won't see those chops around anymore! I can indeed remember. Thank you. Best, Rik
Another great recipe and with barley. I bought some barley some time ago and it is still not been used. I have ordered and instant pot of Lazada so will be cooking the soup but with pork.
Mate, one of the best things I ever bought. I use it for many things. Thank you. Best, Rik

Unfortunately I have to limit beef and salt now but I am sure this will work very well with chicken, its going to get a try so I will find out :). Got to limit the butter too, the sins we have to pay for 🙂.
Thank you. Yes works with chicken, lamb, pork. Best, Rik
Yeah but I would definitely include leeks in the soup if I am doing chicken. You can also brown the meat in veg oil if you need to cut the butter right down - it will still taste good.
@@andyleighton3616 Was thinking of leeks and toying with herbs. It looks nice soup that will take a bit of messing with to suits tastes. The salt is the killer I have to reduce it but it is in much of what you buy and tbh salt like fat is flavour, getting away with cooking without and then a sprinkle on the serving which isn't too bad.
Hi Rik this looks yummy but neither my husband or I can stand celery so could you suggest an alternative to that please ? Many thanks !
Don't put it in. Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Rik, it looks a good and filling soup but one thing i don't like is barley. When i was a child i used to go with my dad to my aunties for tea and she always made beef stew with barley and chocolate mousse for afters. I used to put the barley to one side
Thank you. Best, Rik
How long in slow cooker
About 2 1/2 hours. Thank you. Best, Rik

Not everyone has an Insta-Pot
That's obvious and the point is?
Use a slow cooker or a normal pot. I no longer have a pressure cooker (insta pot). I also do no have a kitchen aid, food processor or air fryer, as Rik says, use what we have, be it food or utensils 💜
@@missymurphy9002 Thank you. Best, Rik
Miss Murphy is right on, I like my cast iron, and Rik dropped pearls of wisdom for us with unpretentious line "just brown the beef " love your style Rik
@@kurtthorington373 Thank you - lets keep it all simple - everyone can cook if given the chance and not be bombarded with tosh! Thank you. Best, Rik
Your beef did not brown for two reasons: 1. treat meat as if it suffers from claustrophobia, it you crowd them in they will not brown but rather release a lot of its juices and the end will be dry meat. 2. Use kitchen paper or what I do, keep a few drying towels (reserved just for that purpose only!) to dry the meat before placing it in the heated pan. Wet meat do not brown. Frying with butter, rather French and very refreshing to see. BUT wait until your melting butter has finished foaming before you add the meat. I do enjoy your recipes, it is rather mode a la paysanne (peasant food) which is terrifically good - I want food and not art where you have to find something to eat and win a Mercedes.
Thank you. Best, Rik
So how long for normal cooking as I have no intention of buying that steam monstrosity?
Do you have a crockpot? 6 to 8 hrs on low if you throw it all in there. 4 hrs on high. Or you can use a stock pot and do it all in there.
Here you go:
Cooking beef and barley soup on the stovetop typically takes around 2 to 2.5 hours.
1. Preparation Time: 10-15 minutes
- Cutting beef, vegetables, and preparing other ingredients.
2. Browning the Beef 5-10 minutes
- Brown the beef in a large pot with some oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sautéing Vegetables: 5-10 minutes
- Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté until they start to soften.
4. Simmering the Soup: 1.5-2 hours
- Add broth, barley, and seasonings to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. The beef should become tender, and the barley should be cooked through.
5. Final Adjustments: 5-10 minutes
- Check for seasoning, adjust if necessary, and ensure everything is cooked to your preference.
So, from start to finish, it should take approximately 2 to 2.5 hours.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I've been making it in a saucepan for decades.
Beef is always better with a natural release. Forcing the release can cause the beef to tighten up.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh yeah….I’ll be trying this one. Love barley. Nice write up 😃
Thank you. Long write up- sorry! Best, Rik

Beef and barley the best ❤
Yes a very good combo. Thank you. Best, Rik
yum, thank you for another Instant Pot recipe. Barley likes to be tender as with the budget minded beef selection. great to indicate the shrinkage of beef cubes to obtain a decent finished chunk on one's spoon when eating.
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
My all time favorite soup!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh mate, from Australia......memories .......delicious. I prefer not to have tomato paste. Too much tomato flavour.
