Replaced the meat with short ribs and the water with beef stock. Perfect winter meal. And plenty for lunch for the week.

Excellent recipe. I make this for my husband and freeze indivicual portions. After trying it as written, I doubled the onion, celery,and barley and also use low fat beef broth instead of water. Makes a very thick, rich soup - enough to have as a meal.

I made enough for leftovers and I've been eating this for days, I love it! The meat was so tender and everything just tasted exceptional.
Edit: I remembered that something I did to this was add cinnamon to the meat while it was cooking. It really makes the flavor nice.

Great outline recipe to build a soup. I doubled carrots, celery, shallots. for liquid, I used 7 cups of beef stock and 1 bottle of lite bass ale. also used entire can of diced tomatoes. i used 3/4 lb. nieman ranch stew beef cubes and seasoned with montreal steak seasoning. i used olive oil to cook beef in, dry pan seared sliced baby bellas and cooked veggies in a little broth instead of oil. no need to wipe pan out but did skim a little oil off top before serving. toasted baguette slices in toaster oven, lightly buttered and topped with swiss cheese. served the soup with these hot 'croutons' on top. delicious!

We don't get many gloomy days in sunny California, so as a soup lover, once we do, I make soup! This was great! I added more salt and pepper for flavor, but other than that, it's a great recipe.

I really love this soup. I always put in more broth than it says here, and a little more barley. I also add more veggies, and a little beef boullion. It seemed difficult at first, but the 2ed time I made it I really got the hang of it. This is great comfort food, especially in the cold weather. Everyone who has tried this soup has loved it.

Instructions for barley are located in the last sentence of the first paragraph. It maybe wise to read the recipe first.

This recipe does not give directions as to what to do with the Barley. It doesn't explain how to prepare it or add it to the soup.
