Two Soups for One

The snow was falling, and I got the itch to make soup. Thank goodness Big Guy is crazy like me and volunteered to run to @legrandsmarket to pick up the ingredients for a beef barley soup.

The surprise was upon his return he also bought the ingredients to make his fabulous meatballs with the idea of doing a riff on an Italian wedding soup. Me being me, accepted the challenge to make two soups at the same time since both soups shared the same foundational ingredients of onions, celery, carrots, and peppers.

Big Guy prepped the top sirloin and the meatballs while I chopped and sauteed the vegetables. Once our individual preps were complete, I added peas, pearled barley, top sirloin, and beef broth to one pot. The other pot had meatballs, flat noodles, and beef broth. Two soups for the price of one! Apron drop!
