After reading many of the reviews, I used stew beef instead of roast and put everything in the crockpot at the same time except for the barley. I also added a packet of dry beef onion soup mix and cooked for the full ten hours. I don't eat beef but it smelled great and my husbands only suggestion was that it may be better if the beef was shredded..Said it was more like a stew than a soup with beef chunks.

First time I made it exactly as recipe stated. The taste was very good but there was hardly any broth. Every time I've made it since, I used 7 bouillon cubes and 7 cups of water. After that adjustment, I would give it 5 stars.

This is delicious. Cooked the meat in the crockpot the day before then refrigerated overnight. Used fresh vegetables like celery, carrot, onion, mushrooms. Outstanding and EASY! Everyone loved it.

I used the all in one pot method mentioned earlier (with an unplanned substitution of diced tomatoes for the stewed) and this was awesome. I'll be making this again for sure.

Everyone loved this recipe! I added a few more vegies and used the slow cooking barley and a tsp of kitchen bouquet to brown up the soup. Fantastic!

An EXCELLENT SOUP!!! Whatever veggies you put in will be fine, the main thing is the seasonings and the meat you prefer. I used a chuck roast, (easier to cut up after cooking) I added a can of beef broth as I had extra meat and veggies & probably a little extra barley. I go heavy on spices ALWAYS. I didn't add vegetables while cooking meat as I used fresh and didn't want them "mushy". 30 minutes or so does it, but it is a personal preference. Can't wait to make this again!!!

I used venison for this soup and my sons and husband loved it. Personally, I think I needed to soak the venison in some milk for a bit longer than an hour. I don't like the gamey taste of the venison but will try it with beef next time for a 5 star rating!

Very good soup. Makes alot, it almost did not fit in my crockpot. I agree with the other reviews to marinate the meat first I did not do that this time but will next time.

This was simply awesome. I added spinach and a bag of frozen "stew vegetables" (carrots, onions, potatoes, celery) instead of fresh as thats what I had. So good...

This soup was excellent! I used stew meat and marinated it overnight in Worcheshire sauce, garlic and Monreal Steak Seasoning. The next day I browned the meat and sauted the carrots, onions and celery before putting it all together on high in the crockpot. It was excellent and made about 17 (1 cup) servings. I used 1 cup barley and it was a bit much for me. I also used 6 cups broth and I think 8 would have been fine. Overall, a very good recipe.

This is a recipe my family has been using for years with slight variation. My parents owned a restaurant and they tought us that the best flavor comes from meat on the bone so we use beef shank for soup. I have never made it in a slow cooker but do everything in one pot on the stove. Added diced tomatoes. We do take meat out once it is tender, dice it up and keep on the side to add back in later. Veggies get cooked in the meat broth to impart flavor into them as well. We pour the soup over a small amount of tiny acini de pepe pasta which is cooked separately and placed in the bowl first. As most restaurants, my mom always put a tiny dollop of butter on the pasta before the soup goes in. With some homemade bread, it doesn't get any better than this!!

Fantastic!! My family ate it up and asked for more! It made enough for an army though. There are 5 in my family and we were eating it leftover for a week, yet it was still delicious every time. Next time I will double the amount of barley. I added potatoes and corn to the soup and they were an excellent addition.

This turned out WONDERFUL! My family is begging for me to make it again. We used the quick cooking barley and just added to the chuck roast right before adding to the remaining ingredients. I also substituted fresh tomatoes blanched to remove skins for canned which makes it a little sweeter and beef stock.

Made this for dinner tonight. I used stew beef, added extra garlic and okra, and it was GOOD. The basic recipe needs a little spicing up, but this soup wowed my family. Thank you
