Cooking healthy and nutritious meals can be incredibly easy if you choose lean beef or veal stocks as the base for your soups enhanced with a plethora of various vegetables. Celery stalks, peppers, carrots and greens make this soup so bright and colorful that it will satisfy even picky eaters who don’t consider themselves as fans of liquid food.

Steps

1 Done	Prepare all the stuff you need for this soup, wash your meat and vegetables, peel everything beforehand. Check any impurities in your baby spinach and sort it out. Measure the cereals and water.
2 Done	The pearl barley always requires more time for cooking, that’s why it’s essential to soak it beforehand at least for six hours.
3 Done	Peel and cut your carrots into strips. Preheat some sunflower oil and start frying.
4 Done	Slice the onions into half-rings, don’t make them too thin. Add them to your carrots.
5 Done	Don’t make the bits too small when cutting your beef.
6 Done	Once the meat is cut, transfer it to your vegetables.
7 Done	Chop the celery stalks and sweet peppers while the beef is still frying.
8 Done	Same way, grind some peppercorns, as it takes some time for the meat to get prepared.
9 Done	Transfer the soaked pearl barley into the wok and let it evaporate before adding the boiling water.
10 Done	After cooking the pearl barley for ten minutes, check its readiness. If it’s almost cooked, add the previously cut sweet peppers and celery stalks.
11 Done	A few minutes later, season your soup with the pepper blend and transfer the leaves of baby spinach. Don’t overcook it.
12 Done	The soup should be salted once it’s almost ready.
13 Done	Let your beef barley soup stand for ten minutes before serving it, so it absorbs all the flavors.
14 Done	Serve this fabulous and nutritious soup while it’s still warm.
