Craig`s Kitchen - Beef and Barley Soup

http://www.craigfarraway.com This is a hardy, stick to your ribs soup, made with beef broth, beef chunks, barley and vegetables. This recipe is pretty standard for a good soup, so you can use it with chicken as well. It is flexable, so if you don't have all of the ingredients, you can improvise and substitute whatever you like. It's far better than a can of Campbell's chemicals, and with no preservatives, it it loaded with vitamins and good stuff!

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

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.

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. :)

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.

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

[sierradayhiker]

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!

@jluvbaby

@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

[kahnny23]

that looks delicious

[peacefulblonde39]

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

[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!
