This was really good and easy. I had leftover shredded beef in its juice from a dinner a couple nites ago. I threw this in the crockpot along with all other ingredients except the barley. Let it go all day and added the barley when the veggies were done. Excellent!! I used broth instead of boullion. I'll make this again. Thanks.

I did alter the recipe a bit as I did not have have stewed tomatoes on hand; the soup was delicious without. I also added some cut up potatoes--great soup for a cool fall night.

I did not follow this exactly. I added a package of onion soup, and cut back on the beef boullion. This was so tasty and easy. My hubby loved it!

I seen this recipe the other day, and thought that it sounded too simple to be good. I made it yesterday for dinner. I have a finicky 17 year old daughter who can make preparing a meal a challenge, however, she loved this soup. She even had it for lunch today. I fixed a loaf of beer bread to go with it. Merlot goes great with it. I will definately being making this recipe again. Thanks for a great fall winter recipe.

Loved it! I followed the suggestions and put all ingredients(except the barley) into the crock pot at one time (no cooking the meat ahead or cooking the veggies on the stove). Not only that but my meat was still frozen when I put it in the crock pot!!! It turned out excellent. My husband loved it and raved about having fresh soup.

I was somewhat hesitant to toss everything in my slow cooker without browning the roast for additional flavor, but based on other positive reviews, I took a chance. Absolutely delicious. Tossing in the barley for the last 30 minutes was just right. Other than the cooking style, I made no modifications to the original recipe and was very pleased.

Fantastic soup or stew, depending on what you want to make of it. Followed the recipe with the exception of using a package of pre-cut stew beef instead of the chuck roast. My wife doesn't usually like leftovers, but she couldn't wait to take this to work with her, where her coworkers were jealous of the wonderful soup her husband had made for her.

This was very good. I changed a few things: I used venison steaks (backstraps) instead of the roast. I sauteed the veggies I used in butter before putting them in the crock pot. I also used a jar of salsa instead of the canned tomatoes, I added some diced tomatoes that I had frozen this summer. I also added some green peppers that I had frozed. I added some Thyme and Basil. I left out the frozen veggies called for.

As many others have done - I throw everything into my crockpot first thing in the morning and add the barley 30 minutes before dinner. I do use a chuck roast instead of stew meat. Just before serving I shred the roast into bite size pieces. It really just falls apart. I usually make a large batch and freeze some for later. My family loves this recipe and I have been asked to share it with many friends and family members.

This is a great vegetable soup! I added fresh vegetables instead of frozen. (carrots, green beans, onion, corn, peas, tomatoes) Makes a lot, so I froze the rest for quick heat up meals.

YUM! I used the frozen country vegetable combo of carrots, corn and green beans and added lots of black pepper when I served it. This is a keeper!

This soup is hearty and delicious. I browned the cubed-up beef first,and then put all ingredients except barley into the slow cooker. I added about a cup of red wine, and took advice of the others: doubled the broth, left out the sugar. I love the nutritional punch of Kale so I chopped up some of that and threw it in (SOOOO good for you - I love when my kids eat it!) I meant to add some sliced button mushrooms at the end but forgot. Added non-quick cooking barley at the end for about a half hour. It made just under 4 litres of soup. Oh, and I also left out the packaged vegetables and just used the fresh ones (plus the kale). Next time I think I will try a few splashes of Worchestershire sauce just for fun, not that it wasn't really good without it! Even with doubling the liquid, it is a hearty almost stew-like soup. You can afford to add more liquid if like, but I find it easier to feed to my kids when it's thicker like this. Enjoy!

This really is excellent and easy. I add the beef and broth and let it 'do its thing' in the crock pot for a couple hours, then added fresh chopped green beans, carrots and onions. I also added some frozen corn. I was happy when both of my parents had seconds!
