I love this type of stew - very hearty, I make a lot of recipes that are variations on this recipe. Instead of using frozen mixed vegetables, I use fresh carrots and tomatoes from the farmers market. Also, I always add fresh parsley.

Wow - thank you so much for an excellant base recipe for beef barley soup. i have been trying for a while to get a beef barley that tastes like my dear mothers - and nothing compared! I used this recipe as a base and it is PERFECT - upon reading lots of the reviews, i decided to cook everything in a crock pot - all at the same time except the barely which went in the last hour! my changes were such -using 10 cups of beef stock (home made) / used 4 bay leaves / less carrot and celary because of the frozen veggies / added 4 cloves of garlic / used crushed tomatos instead of stewed / added worshestershire sauce - about 1 tablespoon / and added fresh herbs which my mom always said makes the difference - added thyme / parsley / oregano AND basil. Upped the pearl barley to ONE CUP - to compinsate for the extra stock. cooked for 10 hours as alot of reviews stated on low in my crock pot. YUM YUM YUM Y UM YUM! were were licking our bowls clean and i cannot wait to eat more! it is perfection!

Delicious. I used leftover roast and cooked everything on the stove top. And, I used high quality beef stock (in lieu of the bouillon cubes and water). The barley is fantastic - it was a rich, flavorful soup.

Brilliant! I made a few changes (which I never usually do): 1. Took the advice of of another reviewer and seasoned the meat with s&p, then browned the meat first in a skillet with the onion and a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce 2. After meat was brown, threw all the ingredients in the pot together and covered them with water (instead of just 1 cup of water). I did add the barley separately though. 3. Omitted the stock cubes and oil 4. Added 5 bay leaves 5. Added 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder It looks like a lot of changes, but because I left out the stock cubes, I had to compensate them with stronger flavours in other areas. I ended up adding quite a lot of salt and pepper to make up for the absence of the cubes. Anyway, it's a fantastic recipe, and lasted me 4 days

My family liked this soup. I had a package of stew meat, so I used that. I cut the chunks into smaller pieces. It was only one pound, and it was plenty. There isn't a lot of broth in this soup. Some may wish to add more broth, but only do it if you have the large crockot. It will definitely overflow if you have the average sized one. I follow others advice and added everything at once into the crockpot, cooked for 9 1/2 hour, then added the barley and salt for the last half hour.
