Tasty and hearty–almost a stew consistency. I had to add a little water at the end but that was probably because I used reg. barley, not quick cooking, which I added with the vegetables. I made a few other substitutions based on what I had on hand–used boxed stock, added some frozen peas near the end of the cooking time. This was a good late afternoon choice for dinner since I didn’t have time for a crock pot recipe.

Good and hearty soup, but I think next time I will make my own beef broth which has a stronger flavor than bouillon or ready made stock.

yummy! I only made a couple of changes —– I used actual Beef Stock instead of water and bouillon granules. Plus I added in some dry red wine. divine! The meat was so tender and delicious! I pulled the meat out after it was brown on all sides while I sauteed the onions until soft and then added garlic for a minute or two then added carrot and celery and sauteed a minute or two, then I added in all the rest like the recipe said. Also – I had the old-fashioned pearl barley which is NOT quick-cooking, so I added it and cooked an additional hour. Actually then simmered another hour waiting for my high school son to come home and it was even better then! barley was softer. GREAT recipe! thanks!
