    Okay, I did not follow the recipe exactly, but I did use all the ingredients as listed. Great soup! I made this recipe in a dutch oven on the stove top. I cut up the meat and boiled it for about 20 minutes. Then mixed things together, brought it to a boil and simmered for 90 minutes. I also added some new potatoes and cut up squash.

    Excellent comfort food! I decided to make this without the meat as I was in the mood for a "veggie-barley." Let me tell you, this recipe did not suffer from the lack of beef. I did add a couple of extra boullion cubes to make up for the flavor that might have been lost. It was great! As someone else mentioned, it did come out quite thick, so if you prefer a more liquidy soup, it's no problem to add extra water or broth (as I did). Great recipe PG. Thanks for sharing. This was served with a beautiful salad and some warm bread. Will be doing this one again and again!

    great recipe, we all loved it and i will definitely make this again. i didn't have tomatoes so i added a can of tomato sauce and instead of the beef cubes and water i added a liter of beef broth, it came out more like a stew than a soup. we had it with pumpernickle bread to sop up the delicious gravy.
