BEEF, BARLEY AND MANY VEGETABLE SOUP



Beef, Barley and Many Vegetable Soup image

On one hand there is beef barley soup, and on the other there's mushroom barley soup, but why choose between the two when you can have both in one soup? Heck, why not add a bunch of other vegetables-carrots, celery, tomatoes, and chard or spinach-to the mix for even more color, flavor, and nutrition? And how about a handful of fresh dill for an earthy herbal essence? It's that kind of thinking that led me right to this wonderful, filling, meal-in-a-bowl with tender beef in every bite balanced with a bounty of whole-grain, plant-powered goodness.
