Yes, you can purchase low sodium broth or sodium-free broth. If you are sensitive to sodium check the cartons of each brand of broth to select the lowest option.
Can Beef Barley Soup be prepared in a crockpot?
Yes, just make sure to sauté the veggies and brown the beef over the stovetop first. Then mix the ingredients in the crockpot and cook on low for 7-9 hours.
How long will this last? Does this soup make a good leftover?
Barley Beef Soup makes a wonderful leftover! This recipe can be stored in the fridge for4 to 6 days in an airtight container. This soup also freezes well, so you can store it in the freezer for up to 6 months. The night before you want to reheat it, place it in the refrigerator to thaw overnight. (Make sure to mark the date that you put it in the freezer for so you know how long it is in there!)
Can I Use Dried Herbs?
I suggest that you use fresh herbs for a more robust flavor, however, you can use dried herbs as well if that is all you have on hand. Generally, use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for 1 tablespoon of fresh.
