Nif's Hearty Healthy Beef Barley Soup image

This is an awesome soup that I make and freeze in individual servings to take to work for lunch. You can also use pot barley, but it will have to cook longer. Enjoy!

This soup was a waste of time and ingredients. It was flavorless and the beef was tough.

This soup was a disappointment. The beef was tough and the broth was watery. I won't be making this soup again.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it helped a bit, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! It was very flavorful and the beef was fork-tender.

This soup was delicious! I made a few changes, such as using ground beef instead of stew meat and adding some chopped carrots. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

This hearty and healthy soup was a hit with my family! The beef was fork-tender and the barley added a nice chewy texture. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful and satisfying.
