Beef Barley Soup

"Some modifications to a recipe from easyjewishrecipes.com: I swapped stew meat for beef shank (no skimming necessary), added mushrooms and extra barley, and made some specific decisions re broth, tomatoes, spices, etc. The secret is low and slow cooking in a covered pot; the DH couldn't believe how good it was and had refill after refill!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I only came to cooking in my 50s, when we moved home to a tiny town with only a few restaurants. I'm always on the hunt for easy, flavorful recipes (often ethnic cuisines), and I'm always ready to try something new and different! In cold weather I gravitate to stews, soups, and casseroles of the not-too-heavy kind; in hot weather I love a salad or cold soup. Partly because of my husband's diabetes (I'm borderline) and partly out of indolence, baking is not my thing.
