This is a great soup, and it makes a lot. If you're someone that likes leftovers, this is for you. Make sure you use pearl barley because hulled barley will be chewy, and quick barley will be mushy. There's also not much barley in here, so I'd probably double it next time. I also suggest seasoning the meat with salt and pepper, and again seasoning the soup once it's done, to taste. I found that it needed additional salt to really bring out the flavors.

I have been making this for years. Make exactly as written, just adding some salt and pepper. I cook on stovetop for approx 4 hrs. Great recipe! (for those who are going to rewrite or make numerous changes, submit your own recipe)

I added potatoes and used beef broth and no tomato soup

This recipe calls for far too much liquid for the amount of other ingredients, in my opinion. Once it was done cooking, I added 2 cups of cooked pasta (Barilla Pasta Ready) and a can of red kidney beans. This helped to even out the ratio and the flavors/textures added nicely to the original soup. I will add these again next time and will only use 1 quart of liquid.

Wow, this is a simple but incredibly effective dish. I just have a small old crockpot so I fried the onions and beef on the stove first. I only had space for 1 can of consommé but together with the tomato soup and huge jar of home canned tomatoes the soup turned out fantastic. Literally, it was so delicious; enjoyed by all :)

This was easy and pleased both my husband and grandson. I'm new to the instant pot and this was so easy it made me feel like a pro.
01/08/2020
Delicious! Made some changes based on was on hand, peeled crushed tomatoes instead of diced, potatoes and kidney beans instead of barley. Added the rinsed kidney beans after the pressure cooking cycle was done. Also added a couple of cloves of garlic to the onion and beef

I used beef broth , added a couple pinches Montreal steak spice. Made a similar receipe for years , great on cold day.
09/23/2019
I will make again. It was very good. Will use more barley next time
01/05/2019
This soup is fantastic. My husband loves it. He asked me to make it again. The only substitution that I made was to use Italian Seasoning since I didn't have the thyme. I also, add some sour cream and a slice of bread to the bowl of hot soup. It turns out great.
03/20/2020
I made it and it was great. Just a reminder though.....theres a big difference in beef consomme and beef broth.Much rich beefier taste with consomme. Also this recipe is for the instant pot using the pressure cooker setting, not a slow cooker. I've made similar recipes of this soup on stovetop. It's a hearty, comfort soup.
03/19/2020
I made this recipe without any additions or modifications it came out really good I like a little spice in my food so I think I'll have a little crush red pepper flake and some other stuff the next time I make it
11/24/2019
Excellent recipe! I did change out tomato soup with cream of mushroom, added a can of mushrooms and use my own small tomato puree for the tomato soup. YUM!
02/15/2019
Amazing! Had to make it again because it was so delicious!
11/15/2018
I love this recipe, but because I needed to make it beef-free, I substituted ground chicken for the beef, chicken and veggie broth for the beef consomme, and cream of chicken soup for the tomato soup. I know, completely different recipe! But this is a great recipe for hamburger soup as well as a chicken soup. One thing I would change for the chicken though, is to add rice rather than barley.
01/07/2020
added 2 bags of mixed veggies, extra can of Tomato , extended the meal by 5 more servings. my family loved it. Thanks for sharing.
02/03/2020
Made exactly as written. Very good. Very easy. Adding a bag of frozen mixed veggies is something I might try next time but it's not necessary. As is written elsewhere this soup is very thick when refrigerated but loosens up a great deal when warmed up. MMMMMM!
01/25/2019
Quick and easy with plenty of leftovers. Love it!
10/02/2019
I doubled the barley as another reviewer suggested and and I'm glad I did. It was perfect! A really good and hearty soup for the cooler weather! Adding this to my make again :)
11/20/2019
No, I didn't make any changes except to add two cans of diced tomatoes instead of a 28oz can. I should add more barley for the extra tomato juice. Everyone really like it!
10/14/2019
This was great! My kiddo loved it too. I didn't have tomato soup, so I just added extra canned tomatoes (2 jars worth). I used beef broth instead of consommé because I'm pretty sure I've never had consommé in my house.
01/06/2020
Loved it
03/26/2020
So yummy! It will be a regular for me. I did make changes to make it gluten free. I removed the barley and added one cup of soaked quinoa. I also changed the Campbell's tomato soup (usually not gluten free) for a ready to eat gluten free tomato soup and added one extra cup of beef stock and Less water. I also added half of a red bell pepper finely chopped.
09/15/2019
At first I didn't think it would be enough for dinner. I used some biscuits to fix that. It has a real nice flavor just the way it is.
12/22/2019
Needs some spice, so I add crushed red pepper. I tried it with some pasta, but that takes away from texture and flavor. If you want it thicker, double up the pearl barley!
03/25/2020
Boy was this a great soup! Very easy, you can sub for some close ingredients if you're stuck "sheltering in place" and it still comes out great.
03/21/2020
Loved it
03/20/2020
This has been my go to recipe for so many years now, one exception being I too used my big crockpot. It's a wonderful soup, thank you for sharing it. I'm sure there are many out there that have never made it before, whether using the instant pot or crockpot.
03/25/2020
It was very tasty!
03/29/2020
So easy & tasty comfort soup! It does make a big pot of soup which we enjoyed for several days & I froze the rest. I used tomato sauce instead of the tomato soup & used a pound of hamburger & 1/2 pound of Italian sausage I will definitely make this soup again! Thank you for great recipe!
03/26/2020
A nice, hearty soup that everyone liked with ingredients you're likely to have on hand. I used quick barley and increased by two tablespoons because I love it and to make up for only 1 pound of hamburger I had. The soup was even better the next night. I plan on making this many times in the future, switching up the veggies (spinach, green beans, assorted leftovers).
06/21/2019
Good hardy soup in a short time
12/12/2019
Added potatoes and Zucchini
12/13/2019
This was awesome! I used Beyond Meat block and it took me back to my childhood. We served it with a cheddar jalapeno cornbread, you don't need any other food it is a one-pot meal.
12/06/2019
Quick ,easy and tasty! Makes a lot, so froze some for another day. Will make again.
08/21/2020
Very delicious and easy! I added a can of corn and a can of green beans after pressure cooking and I subbed potatoes for the barley.
02/05/2021
I've made it twice. It's a good soup, but hey, it's just hamburger soup, right? It's easy and fast to make, and that makes it a winner in my book, for those days you really don't have time to cook.
03/21/2020
Ingredients contain some, but not quite enough salt. I lightly salted it at the saute stage. I also added a generous sprinkling of Italian seasoning and red pepper seasoning. It would have been too bland if I had not made adjustments. It turned out quite delicious and I will make it often.
12/29/2018
I made changes because of the ingredients I didn't have on hand. I used quartered red potatoes, since I didn't have any pearled barley, and a small can of tomato juice in place of tomato soup. Without the soup and barley, I decided to cut out the 2 cups of water. Added salt and pepper as others suggested and it's very good! I also cooked the hamburger meat in a separate pot, put it in a colander then rinsed the meat with hot water to cut down on the saturated fat content. I think you could add just about any vegetables as well as the ones called for (like zuchinni, spinach, green beans, etc.).
04/17/2020
I did reduced the liquid, cooked the meat separately and drained excessive fat, as well as added teaspoon of salt to 2 lbs of meat. At the end, I added grated cheese.
10/28/2019
Incredibly easy to prepare and stays fresh with hold temperature mode. I used bison and it was still great. Hearty and savory.
11/09/2019
Added bag of fresh spinach. Supper!!
12/31/2018
Super easy! First time I used my new Instant Pot... Family loved this hearty soup and I loved the ease and quickness!
03/25/2020
I didn't have the barley, so added pasta. Super tasty!
04/12/2020
I will definitely do this again. It was hearty! I substituted brown rice for the barley and added two cans of vegetables when it was almost done. I chose green beans and corn to make it
01/06/2020
Skip the tomato soup Nd use seasoned diced tomatoes instead. So much better! Add a bit of chili powder too. Can do on stove top in 30-45 min. Brown beef then add veg, I add some elbows if lots broth or cook separately and add. They will soak up all the broth, however.
03/21/2020
Delicious and very flavorful. My wife and I really enjoyed it
09/30/2019
Really good!! Used pot roast instead of ground beef.
11/22/2018
Family loved it!
03/26/2020
This soup was really good. I make lots of different type soups and this would work very well for a larger family. I omitted the tomato soup and 1 can of tomatoes. Was delicious without the extra ingredients. Nice for a family of 4-6.
01/29/2019
This turned out delicious. I will definitely make it again but will probably add a little garlic and white pepper.
03/21/2020
Really delicious but we just made it on the stovetop. Bring to a boil reduce heat and simmer for 35 minutes
03/26/2020
It was terrific. Wouldn't change anything.
03/30/2021
This is a great recipe! The only thing I do differently is add a cup of barley. It sounds like a lot but it comes out perfect.
07/23/2021
Excellent and easy to make. I'm single so I adjusted the serving size to 6. Still had enough for the week. Served with crusty bread. Outstanding
04/09/2020
Made it just like recipe stated. Have been making this for 30 years or so and its always good
11/15/2018
Easy to make and served friends and family! Everyone loved it! Even the fussy eaters.
06/11/2020
yes I added zucchini in the receipe instead of celery
10/29/2019
Easy to make, yummy soup. Huge pot disappeared in 3 days. I added a few goodies, like sliced jalepenos, and more barley. Cold out, warm inside. great recipe.
12/05/2018
I made this soup last night and had it tonight for dinner. My brother and I really liked
12/01/2018
Turned out very well.
09/05/2020
Very good indeed! The only thing I left out was the can of tomato soup. I thought it would be too "tomato-y". Aside from that I followed the recipe just as written. Will make again but I would add more barley. Great for a chilly autumn supper. Thanks for sharing!
03/24/2020
Easy and delicious. I used my crockpot and let it cook all day.
01/20/2020
Turned out great, my family loved it. I also added two cubes potatoes to mine.
12/29/2019
I "Karenized" it a bit, but really great base!
04/20/2020
It was awesome! I made it and added peppers for a little spice.
11/09/2018
I have been making this exact recipe for years in a soup pot and it is the best I have ever tasted. The only thing I do differently is grate the carrots instead of slicing them. Seems to bring out the flavour better.
03/25/2020
I am on a Keto diet. I made this without the barley and it was very good. Make sure your steamer valve is on "sealing". I am new to my InstaPot so had to look it up.
06/21/2021
Fantastic but I did add small shells to it. Tastes even better reheated!
04/02/2022
I like a thicker soup so I used one cup of Barley. Great flavor..Great recipe... I've made it many times now. Thank you.
01/25/2022
good flavor but just a bit too "tomatoey" for my taste. I doubled the barley and added garlic. good soup though
04/02/2020
A added some Beef Bullion and I omitted the Tomato Soup, it made it too sweet. The second time it turned out more beefy...
03/25/2020
Only thing I changed was using to OXO Beef Packets with 14 oz of water to make consomme.
03/25/2020
I will be making this again shortly. It turned out fabu! I used the fire roasted toms. Gave the soup a nice rounded flavor.
04/21/2020
Very bland. My family all agreed so we delayed dinner for about 30 minutes and turned it into chili.
11/10/2018
Tasty and easy.
10/28/2019
Absolutely delish! For those of you who like a little spice , I also added 1 jalapeno pepper with the seeds.
03/20/2020
Substitutions where needed, beef broth instead of consommé, cauliflower instead of barley. Was really delish!
03/28/2020
Very good. This will now be my go to hamburger soup.
11/04/2019
Yummy for a rainy day in Nebraska!
12/04/2021
Excellent. All the elements for a meal. Freezes very well.
03/26/2020
Great soup! The kids loved it! I added extra barley because I love barley. I will probably add a little more next time.
03/26/2020
Not exciting; definitely won't make again
03/28/2020
My Husband & I made this and loved it!xoxo
11/01/2019
This is so good but needs a little bit of pepper
04/03/2020
I will make this again and again
03/28/2020
I doubled the onion, didn't have beef consomme so used 1 litre of mushroom and 2 litres of chicken. Also used regular group beef. It was so tasty, will definitely make it again and again!
03/19/2020
Hamburger soup? Try chili.
04/16/2019
A bit bland, but if you add salt, pepper, and hot sauce it is great. Definitely will make again and possibly add a couple of things.
08/22/2021
Simple, yummy, perfect the way it's written. Comfort food!
02/14/2021
This is my "Go to" soup recipe. We like spicy undertones so I add 1/4 teaspoon of crushed chilli flakes . Turns out perfect every time a firm 5 star recipe.
