Description

A hearty soup that tastes just as good when rewarmed the next day.

Ingredients

1 2 3/4-pound piece flat-cut brisket, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 cups canned beef broth
3 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
4 celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 carrots, peeled, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/3 cup pearl barley, rinsed
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
3 bay leaves
1 1-ounce package dried stemmed shiitake mushrooms, broken into 1/2-inch pieces
3 15- to 16-ounce cans kidney beans, undrained

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients except beans in heavy large pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
