I made this today for a small potluck and everyone loved it. I love barley, so I upped the recipe to include 3/4 cup and it was perfect. I didn’t have powdered bouillon so used 3 large Knorr beef bouillon cubes. My husband was bummed there wasn’t any left over, so I had to promise him to make it again in a few days. Make this soup, you’ll love it!

I’ve made this a few times now. My husband and I both loved it, and that is saying something because my hubby is a tough food critic. I include potatoes, increase the peral barley a little, and I increase the spices (salt & parsley). It makes a lot and freezes nicely. I like that it is healthy and Weight Watchers friendly. Great recipe.

This was very simple and the beef was very tender and good (more of it would have been nice), but the rest of the dish was not eaten with much enthusiasm.

I made this today and it was delicious. It couldn’t have been easier. This will go into my winter dinner rotation!

Awesome…the carrots and celery stayed firm, which gave some texture to the soup. Flavors blended well, just add some crusty bread and supped my way through two bowlfulls!! Thanks!

Loved it! I simmered it on the stovetop for a few hours, and it turned out great! Thanks!

I made this recently and the family loved it! It smelled so good all day long and did not disappoint! Thanks for another recipe for my slow-cooker rotation.

This soup was fantastic! So easy to make, and very flavorful. I made it the night before and put it in the crockpot. Some of the folks I cook for are a bit picky, but
they all loved it. Many many smiles and thanks. I will definately reccomend this to others!
