Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup with Red Wine & Pesto

  • Lamb
Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup with Red Wine & Pesto

Hearty, thick, rich--this is just how a winter soup should be. The meat and carrots become tender yet retain their texture, and the kale offers freshness. Garnish each serving of this slow-cooker beef and barley soup with additional pesto and fresh basil and oregano sprigs, if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 ½ cups 1/2-inch-thick diagonally sliced carrots (from 3 carrots)

  • 1 cup yellow onion (from 1 onion)

  • ½ cup dry red wine

  • 3 cups unsalted beef stock

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano

  • ¼ cup jarred pesto

  • ½ cup uncooked whole-grain hulled barley (not pearled; about 4 ounces)
