Yum! This is really flavorful soup & a great way to get your dose of veggies. I used a yellow bell pepper (on hand), 1 can green beans (drained), and 1/3 cup pearl barley. I also added 1 cup more beef broth as it looked like there was not much room for the barley to 'grow'. It came out perfect. DH especially loved the use of V8 as a base and the chili powder gives it a nice yet mild kick to the flavor. It's great that you just add everything in at once and simmer. Definitely a no fuss recipe. I have some leftover seasoned ground beef from Recipe #397450 that I'm planning on adding into the soup for tomorrow's lunch. Thanks for sharing this keeper recipe. Made for TYM tag game. :)

I live in southwestern Ontario with my forever hubby (almost 45 years now) and our incredibly friendly Shih Tzu pup. My children and grandchildren are all grown, but enjoy my cooking when they visit. I like to make a little extra when cooking as I package and freeze it for my granddaughter who is attending university.
We also spend a great deal of time in the Bruce Peninsula during the summer months, so "ready" meals are always welcome up there when it is too hot to cook.
I have a large collection of recipe books but my passion is searching magazines, and recipe websites for new ones.
My pet peeve is recipes that don't list dry ingredients before "wet" ones, especially when the same measurement is required repeatedly.
