Our family enjoyed this recipe, though I did add a significant amount of herbs to give the soup more flavor, so I am giving 4 stars for a great starting recipe.

like the other posters...me one change was to "add booze". Others added red wine or beer which would be good too...though I added sherry. Also: the broth lacked enough flavor at first. It calls for 3 bullion cubes to 6 c of water which = half strength beef broth. I added another 3 bullion cubes to = regular strength broth and we liked it a lot better. Liked the end product but a 4 as I had to make changes to boost flavor

I had some oyster, shittake, and baby portabellas in the fridge, along with a zucchini from the garden. I thought this recipe would provide a good vehicle for their use, and did it ever. Being vegetarian I left out the beef and used a vegetable broth. After sweating the veggies I deglazed the pan with some sherry. I cooked the broth separately for the 1st 1/2 hour as I added some black and mahogany rice (1/4 cup), and that takes 50 minutes to cook. I added a bouquet garni of sprigs of fresh herbs, fished it out when I added the mushroom mixture, and finished cooking it. My family all loved it, and want to know when we are going to have it again. My husband said it was "rich", but it is so healthy and low cal! His only request is that next time he wants to try it with croutons and Swiss cheese, like French onion soup. Thank you so much for sharing such a easy and delectable soup! We have a "soup dinner" for family every fall, and this is going on the menu! Yummy!

Fantastic. Didn't have any bouillon so I used beef broth instead. Turned out very flavorful without being too heavy!

Too many mushrooms for me. Maybe I would have liked it if I had used half the mushrooms and twice the beef.

The best soup I have ever made! I added more meat, and browned it first, and then cooked the beef with 1/2 c red wine and 1 1/2 c water for an hour, and then added my sauteed veggies and just one box of beef broth, and I doubled the barley to 1/2 c. That wes it, and the results were delish! I didn't use the sour cream either. This was a winner!

It's a fine soup; however, it seemed that a lb of mushrooms was far too overpowering. It was more of a mushroom soup than a beef and barley soup. It will also need more spices than what was listed. I added in a half cup of red wine as well.

This was good. It just seemed a little thin like it was missing something. I forgot I was out of sour cream so maybe that would have helped. On the advice of my butcher I used a small chuck roast that I cut into small pieces and the meat was tender and delicious.
