Beef Barley Lentil Soup

By: Judy Metzentine

"It's easy for Judy Metzentine to fill her slow cooker and forget about supper...until the kitchen is filled with wonderful aroma, that is! 'I've served this soup often to family and friends on cold nights, along with homemade rolls and a green salad,' she writes from The Dalles, Oregon. For variety, she suggests substituting jicama (a starchy root vegetable found in the produce department of many grocery stores) for the potatoes."
