      This is very good. I made it with sheep. As I put everything in the crockpot, I realized I didn't have any barley in the house so I cooked it without. Then, when it was almost done, I removed 4 cups of liquid, brought it to a boil in a stockpot, added the barley and cooked it separately. Then, I added it all back to the stew. It was yummy and filling.

      This is 5 star as all the reviews stated! My husband and I loved this soup. I have never been a big fan of barley but my husband is and I made this for him as a treat, but I ended up loving it just as much. I used a lean pound of ground beef in place of the round steak and increased the celery to 2 stalks. I'm always looking for ways to cut the fat content. I also used canned corn as that is all I had on hand. Delicious flavors and the first ever barley soup that I loved! Thanks.

      Loved this soup and have made it twice. Both times I ended up adding about 3 cups of beef broth at the end, as most the liquid was absorbed. Cooked on LOW the first time and on HIGH (about 6 hours) the second: Same results. I also used quick cooking barley, as it was all I could fine. I just added it with an hour to go and it turned out great.

      One of my favorite soups. I made this for my family and I sorta cleaned out the fridge for it. I used leftover corn, green beans and some carrots and celery stick I had cut up. Perfect. And to top it off, the soup tastes great. I love love love beef barley soup and this is a great one. Thank you so much for sharing with me and my family.

      I made this the other night for dinner and it was wonderful. I didn't add the green pepper, I didn't have any. Tonight we are having the leftovers. I had to make this on the stove, I didn't have time to make this in the crockpot. This will be made again for sure. Thanks for posting!

      I've made this recipe a few times, and it is still a family favourite. I use about 2 pounds of ground beef instead of the beef chunks, browning it before adding it to the crock pot. I also find 1 tsp of salt enough. Other than that, excellent as written! Wonderful with a salad and some crusty bread!

      I'm so sorry, but this was terrible! It was so bland and just really wasn't anything special. I tried to liven it up and give it some flavor, but it was a lost cause. I may try again, but alter several things to give it a boost.

      Made this yesterday, the weather is beckoning for soup to be made! Followed exactly (try to on first time recipes) did have to add more liquid to my taste. I added a can of beef broth just before I served it and a litle more bouillon. I chopped veggies and the meat the night before, so assembling before works took no time at all. My DH and I really enjoyed this soup. It makes a lot, so will probably end up freezing some for lunches. Yummy! Oh, and the house smelled wonderfully when we arrived home.
