This soup works. I did dust the ribs with flour and browned them to the dark caramel stage before adding to the pot. Instead of water I used canned beef broth. I also added more vegetables. After the beef was tender I cut it off the bones and added it back to the broth with the vegys & barley. My favorite soup. I did not need the au jus mix this way.
