My mother never made soup from scratch so I never learned how. After trying a number of soup recipes from Zaar, I came up with this recipe as a guideline for a basic veggie beef soup. I often throw in whatever veggies I have around so the soup is never exactly the same two times running; however, soup-making isn't an exact science as is baking. I'm posting the recipe so that I can give it out easily; evidently, folks seem to really like it!

Steps:
- Brown meat in large pot along w/ onions, celery, and carrots.
- Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30-45 mins til veggies and barley are done.
- Note #1: I've been adding ½ cup pearl barley to the soup, which will be done in the amount of simmering time. Quick barley takes only 10 minutes to cook so you could add later.
- Note #2: I've found that adding pasta, while good at first, it continues to absorb the soup liquid and get really big and the soup becomes more like a stew. If you'd like noodles, I would cook them separately and add them to the bowl just before ladling in the soup.
- Note #3: You could also add rice, if you would like.
