This is one of my favorite soups to make! I normally use a bag of mixed veggies to replace the carrots, celery, peas, and green beans. I use a can of diced tomatoes and 2 boxes of beef broth to make prep easier, and I always double the barley. I like my soup thick and hearty! Served with some warm bread, or a grilled cheese sandwich, this is just delicious.

Wow! The paprika, bay leaf and thyme combine with the beef to make a delicious soup. I didn't use peas or potatoes, so I added some turnips with greens. I waited until the end to add the salt and pepper, and finished with 1 teaspoon fresh thyme from my freezer. Thank you, Ziggy, I'll make this again.

carrots need to be put in long before the last 30 mionutes of simmering.... still hard, and potatoes if used should be put in about and hour before finishing up.... have cooked this low sodium soup three times already and found the above needed to be added sooner than the last 30 minutes....in fact had it tonight for dinner..... good luck with my change

My Om%u0101 made the best vegetable beef soup, but never wrote down a recipe. The ingredients for this soup looked right so I cooked up a batch. Not quite the same, but very good. I did substitute crushed tomatoes for the chopped. (Can't handle that texture!) I%u2019ll certainly make it again and see if I can%u2019t tweak it just a bit closer.
