This is the best Barley Lentil soup I have had. I did use stew meat instead of ground beef but other then that I mad as directed. I will defiantly make this again. Thanks for the great recipe.

We loved this soup. Even my 3 yr old who doesn't like anything ate it and loved it. The only change I made was I put grated carrots in instead of sliced, because my boys won't eat big chucks of carrots, but they don't even notice the smaller grated pieces. Will definately make this again soon!

My husband and I enjoyed this soup. My crockpot isn't bit enough for 6 cups water so I just did 4 and added some worcestshire sauce for a bit more flavoring as it seemed a little flat to me.

I doubled this recipe and cooked it on the stovetop. I omitted the lemon pepper seasoning and used fresh tomatoes instead of canned (about 4 or 5 large tomatoes, diced.)I added the cubed potatoes after simmering the rest of the ingredients for 45 minutes because I was afraid if I added the potatoes in the beginning they would be mushy. I think I ended up making almost 20 cups of this soup. I served it with fresh from the oven Parmesan Cracked pepper bread. It fed my whole family (which is rather large.) My kids all had seconds-and two of them had thirds. I also sent a container of this to my dad, sent some over to my sister, sent some with my husband to work for lunch, sent some to a family friend for dinner and gave some to my neighbor. All came back with rave reviews telling me how great this was! I served mine with sprinkled parmesan cheese on top, garnished with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chives. My family and friends absolutely loved this recipe! I think it will be a new fall/winter staple in my home.

My hard-to-please husband adored this soup. I deviated very slightly to adjust it to ingredients I had on hand (left out carrots/celery) and it was still really good. Very easy recipe, simple ingredients, highly recommended.

This recipe makes a nice hearty soup. I made a few changes based on reviews: added garlic, used stew meat instead of ground beef, and substituted half of the water for beef broth. I accidentally added the tomatoes at the beginning of cooking, but it was fine. After 6 hours on low in my slow cooker the lentils were still al dente, so I turned it up to high for one hour and the texture was perfect. Will definitely make this again, my husband and dog really like it!

This soup was really tasty! I cooked it on the stovetop for a little over an hour. I added 2 minced cloves of garlic to the hamburger and onions and only used one can of tomatoes as my pot wasn't big enough.

This is a wonderful beef soup! I like to make a lot and freeze it in ziploc bags. Great for winter or anytime!

I simmered the soup on the stove top for about an hour instead of using the slow-cooker. Then added the barley & lentils and simmered untill done about another 30 min. For additional flavouring I used half beef stock to half water. Overall, I think this is a pretty good, hearty soup. THX.

I made this in a Dutch oven on top of the stove-it came out excellent. An easy winter recipe. The leftovers were very good and thick also!

Quick prep, good flavor. We had to cut down the recipe to fit our crock pot though and still had enough for 2 full meals for our family.

This recipe was ok. I used stew meat instead of ground beef but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The meat was very tender but the soup was a little bland. My son said "I like it ,but I wouldn't ask for it on my birthday."

I hardly ever like a recipe as it is and don't do something to embelish it a bit- however, this is an exception! This is perfect just the way it is. Reminds me of my Grandma's beef barley soup! Thank you for the recipe!

We ended up making this on the stove. We used some minced garlic while browning the beef and added some onion powder for extra flavor. All in all, an easy, tasty, and hearty soup.

When I made this soup, I cooked it on high for 3 hours and then added only 1 can of tomatoes and (quick) barley, then cooked on low for 2 more hours. It was kind of lacking in flavor so I added some thyme and at the table, lots of salt and pepper. I wasn't overly impressed the night I made it, but the next day, the broth had thickened up nicely and it was fabulous reheated!

Good soup! I like that the ingredients are ones that you usually have on hand. I also added minced garlic to the meat and onions to add some extra flavour.
