Enjoyed the first pot of this delicious soup way back in November. We love soup, with Beef and Barley being one of our favorites.Made as posted and wouldn't change a thing. This is an excellent recipe for soup with that old fashioned flavor. Thank you andypandy for another of your great tasting recipes.
