SLOW COOKER FRESH VEGETABLE-BEEF-BARLEY SOUP
Most vegetable-beef-barley soups are bland soups to help people that are ill, but I like vegetable-beef-barley soup to have more flavor, so I have worked at making this one have more flavor and more veggies then most. When I make this soup, I make my family a nice loaf of bread to serve them with it, plus I also give them a nice chunk of cheese. I also fix a light dessert or slice up some fruit.

WEIGHT WATCHERS CROCK POT BEEF,BARLEY AND ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP
2 1/3 cup = 5 points. From WW Slow Good Cookbook. If refrigerated for more than a day, barley may absorb some liquid. You can add broth or water when reheated. The soup has enough flavor so it will not dilute the taste. You can sub celeriac and rutabaga in the veggie mix- Just keep the broth to root veggie ratio about the same.

GRANDMA COFFEE'S BEEF BARLEY VEGETABLE SOUP
A wonderful family recipe, passed down by my mother (nicknamed Grandma Coffee by my daughters). This recipe gets a unique flavor from the rutabaga used in place of potatoes. The rutabaga gives it a wonderful flavor, and will not fall apart like potatoes tend to do in soup. I freeze half, and use half immediately. Enjoy with some crusty sourdough or French bread and a garden salad.
