Beef and Barley Vegetable Soup image

My mom gave me this recipe. I've changed it slightly (basically to lower the salt content. The nutritional values will not reflect this, but keep in mind if you use the low sodium products it will be less than listed.

Overall, this is a good recipe for a hearty and flavorful beef and barley soup. With a few minor adjustments, it could be even better.

This soup is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt, or omitting it altogether.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I'll reduce the amount of liquid next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper, and maybe some garlic or onion powder.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but I really enjoyed this soup. The barley was cooked perfectly and didn't have a chewy texture.

I love the addition of barley to this soup. It gives it a nice chewy texture and makes it more filling.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beef. I usually make it with leftover pot roast, but you could also use steak or ground beef.

I love that this soup is so versatile. You can add or remove vegetables depending on what you have on hand. I also like to add a bit of red wine to give it a richer flavor.
