Craig`s Kitchen - Beef and Barley Soup

[sierradayhiker]

can you just get on to making soup

[tundrawalker1]

Craig, I made this soup on Saturday and it was fantastic. I warmed up some leftovers for supper tonight and it is even better now. Bravo on the amazing videos. See ya on Friday night!

[kahnny23]

that looks delicious

[CraigTube]

I made a comment in here somewhere that deals with that. Many definitions use the two terms interchangeably.

[ArtOfTheProblem]

craig you need to explain the difference between stock and broth! Stock is roasted bones, stock is boiled

[Gilbs2211]

Not to mention all the freaking sodium on those can-o-soups!

[brennanjimbob88]

Craig that soup looks fantastic! 

[scott9002ca]

Hey Craig great video. I made this last night. turned out amazing. I've been following your videos for about a year, and I started home brewing with your videos. I've since moved on to partial extracts and mini mash's, but I just want to say thanks a lot. You have the gift to explain things in a way thats simple but at the same time doesn't bore you. Thanks!

[setesh2000]

Wow Craig that looks absolutely beautiful! I've always done soups the lazy way without 'glazing' the pan and I am definitely going to try your way next time. I've also never tried barley in a soup, and I'm definitely going to give that a try as well. Your finished soup looked so good! Thank you so much for all your work, great video as usual!

[RiverRaid2]

if you seal that meat with hot oil you will prevent flavours to move to your water.

[CraigTube]

@RiverRaid2 The flavours are at the bottom of the pot and come up during de glazing to create the stock. You get a more rich flavour this way, and the meat still retains some of it's flavour.

[RiverRaid2]

@CraigTube

well that´s true, but you started a heavy sauce that way.

If you put your karots so early, the vegetables so early

the parfums will evaporate.

[takadi]

@RiverRaid2

Searing meat does not "seal" in juices. That is a myth that was disproven by Alton Brown. All searing does it provide flavor through browning

[eyesofnova]

For an added kick of flavor and for deglazing the pan try a cup of beer or 1/2 a cup of red wine (cheap redwine works just fine) and let it boil off. You'll thank me later. Oh yeah, and boil in 4 cloves of garlic cut into fours. It adds this wonderful kick of a flavor to it that my girlfriend and mom both love.

Hey, watching this again after the live show today and just thought I'd let you know it's actually a 2 minute commercial, not 15 seconds. I watched the whole thing though, hope it helps you. Cheers.

[kellowjo]

whats with the two ads. thumbs down craig

[CraigTube]

@kellowjo I am a YouTube Partner. Ads on Youtube are quite common as they not only pay for YouTube's operation costs, but they also assist in helping Partners like myself. This video took three days for me to produce. Surely a 15 second ad is tolerable. :)

[peacefulblonde39]

@CraigTube I agree. The seconds are always worth the recipe! Thanks Craig! YOU Rock!

[kellowjo]

stock and broth are not the same thing, my friend

[CraigTube]

@kellowjo "Broth: The water in which meat, fish, or vegetables have been boiled; stock." "(Cookery) another name for stock." "chicken broth - a stock made with chicken." "Broth, stock - liquid in which meat and vegetables are simmered..."

Other sources claim broth to be stock with the flavouring elements (i.e. meat) left in, where as stock is just the liquid alone.

I think for the most part, it is safe for the average person to use the terms interchangeably.

[TheTater1984]

another a+ video craig.  that stuff made my mouth water a little

[LongDogBrew]

Excellent Craig! I can't wait to give it a try. Keep them coming...thanks!

[pauswa1966]

Oh, I would eat those vegetables!!! Or I could at least give them to our dogs. Yes, throwing them away is blasphemy.

[billy26100]

hew craig why not make a show about bbQ

[moran1053]

Craig, watching your cooking, wine, video's always makes me smile... God Bless.

[Veloesque]

Throw the vegetables from the stock away....blasphemy!!!!

Otherwise nice recipe :)

[nigerford]

you should sparge those bones

[Saxman1819]

Good as always Craig!!! As I was watching this I realized how much cooking is like making beer. Your broth was your mashing phase and then you added your broth (wort) to the rest of the ingredients (like adding hops to the boil). :-) Thanks for the vid and the thoughts.

[kramercanify]

Very nice video Craig! Now I'm hungry!!!

[brewertobee]

Hey there Craig! After watching your video 4/9 I made your soup/stew that night.

It turned out awesome. I made a lot of it so I can bring some to work for lunch too.

My wife really liked it also. I took some bread brushed with olive oil and lightly broiled

it then flipped it over and put cheese on it and a little garlic powder and broiled it just till nicely crunchy. What a meal! Thanks Craig!!!

[mixmmick]

Hearing the opening theme to your Craig's Kitchen Videos always bring a sense of calmness to me.

"Sometimes you gotta listen to that ever beating heart." :-)

[checao]

Craig you're the best, tanks from Brasil for all good stuffs you do.

[cmsingerbill]

great job !!!

[tnm140]

fun fact the universal stock ingriedents of celery,onion, and carrots are called Mirapoix (french).

[tnm140]

craig next time try roasting the bones for a while then make the soup. This is done only with beef stock not chick stock. Typically thats how a resturant does it. Also i would job the onions and carrots creats more suface area nothing crazy just a rough job.

[n2prs]

im not a big stew guy but looks great, personally i would of added a ton of garlic

[dragonflychainsaw]

i love this recipe it will be great on a cold winters night to me thats when soup is at it's best

[guerd87]

After seeing this I just had to make it! Made up a batch last night and the whole family loved it, even the kids who arnt really soup people :)

Would really love to see your take on Beef Stew, I love stews in the camp oven when out in the bush :) New ideas are always good though. Keep up the good work!

[RevolutionaryBrewer]

Looks like a good nutritious soup. Like you said alot better then a can of 'Campbells Chemicals'

[LeJimster]

looks great! thanks for recipe.

[matt3360]

I love the craigs kitchen series this was really good im just not a fan of the white flashes to denote scene changes but hey thats me most people like it

[gwsslowstick]

Thanks Craig. This looks simple and good. I might add some potatos to mine when I make it. Would that be a bad idea or what?

[noopa05]

thanks craig, your videos are so much easier to follow than the shows on tv. My cascade chocolate mahogany porter has been bottled for 2 weeks 2moro so ill be able to tell you how it tastes =)

[scotchrks]

I'm a big soup guy, and any soup with beef is great for me! Love your videos Craig. My favourite is beef stew with a little ground clove added to give it a bit more pep!

[pajsarn81]

Nice one Craig, I'm gonna try this! =)

No beer sipping though? ;)

[immolateus]

Now I'm hungry....is there an instant version?

[theguru18]

thanks for making thes vids ples keep it up you rely know your stuf

[jluvbaby]

uhhh.. craig... you are supposed to be sippin on a beer while making this soup... lol... 

[TheAceMcAce]

@jluvbaby I would have preferred to see him glugging on a pint of beef and barley soup from the last batch.

[cinema4life]

@jluvbaby

haha, yes! What is the best beer paired with this soup? Love the vid Craig!

[Borbuster]

It's pronounced Wooster(shire). It's weird how North Americans see an extra H in there and tend to pronounce it Warchester.

[WB1A2]

Seconded on the commercials. That's a big bummer.

[tvtoms]

Craig, great stuff. Here's a neat trick that I may have missed if you mentioned it. When you make stock, leave those skins on your onions! I have even tossed in more skins. Why? They help make that awesome amber color to your stock. You can of course use onions skins to dye eggs also for Easter or whatever celebration one might use dyed eggs in. Now I'm off to eat with everyone else! :)

[unionrdr]

Was that barley 2 row or 6 row? lolz! I just had to say it! But I've been wanting to try a beef-n-barley soup. Yours looks rich & downright yummy!

[tgtshirts1]

Craig, Got to try this .....Thanks for these videos!!!!

[MrEbusinessexpress]

Love the video, but despise the commercials :c

[halbibabe]

Craig, are you a house husband?

[enygma3d]

How do you figure this would work out with malted barley? The only concern would be the husks, but I would figure it would add a nice sweetness to balance some of the added salt. Although malted wheat has no husks so that might be interesting.

[teet4ever]

Another Craig's recipe to add to my own. Thanks Craig!

[elltron38]

Nice! One of my favourite soups! You should try deglazing with a bottle of homebrew!

[hobo31009]

all that needs is some crusty home made bread,superb!

[sfm1017]

Another great video.

[steve37uk]

looks fantastic

[sausage4mash]

there are genetically modified ingredients in those stock cubes , live stock has been genetically modified by selective breading .

but whatever ,I always enjoy your videos

[redneckemperor]

@sausage4mash Selective breeding is not "genetically" modified in the since that he is talking about. Something genetically mutated foods would be something that they added chemicals too or something that has been mutated. Every person in this world selectively breeds animals, that's how you get the best breeds. Every dog in the world has been selectively mutated.

[sausage4mash]

@redneckemperor GM food normally has genes turned on or off or even added from another species but natural selection , sexual selection and selective breading also modify the Gene-gnome of a species over time ,you could argue I guess that changing an organism so quickly has inherent risk but the gains far out weigh the risk in my opinion .Lets all try not to be fear mongering Luddites the future is bright and the past was well a bit pants! (although people like to romanticize about it )

[bowow0807]

hey craig when i watched this i got hungry so i got my jar of dill pickles, and there was only one left! guess every one loves it a lot.

[midknightthunderboy]

I'm making this for dinner this weekend!
