  1. Absolutely excellent! Don't underestimate the simplicity of this dish. It is so very well balanced. I added the barley to brown with the onions, added some Knorr dry french onion soup mix instead of the bullion and the frozen veggies is used were petite diced peas and carots as well as using petite diced tomatoes and dicing my meat petite as well. It was beautiful and a "10" in my book. Thank you so much...... :)
     
  2. My husband really liked this easy to make soup. I skipped the bay leaf celery as I was out. For my veggies I added baby carrots as the soup was simmering and some mixed veggies as suggested. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  3. This soup was a winner with my family. I also gave a portion to my neighbors and they liked it too. Asked for the recipe!
     
  4. Very good! I made this with leftover meat from a prime rib roast. I added more spices, freshly ground black pepper, Worchestershire sauce and more garlic. Would definitely make again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love to go to restaurants, but I also love to cook -- when I have the time. I work 2 part-time jobs. My family has very different tastes which have required careful menu planning. My husband and oldest daughter love meat, any kind, and couldn't do without it. On the other hand, my teenage daughter has never liked meat, ever. This makes planning a meal rather difficult but because of this I have tried many different recipes to suit every taste of my family. Luckily for me, I love most any kind of food.
