The thyme smelled sooo good as this was cooking. The soup really hit the spot on this cold snowy day. The kids had a 'snow day' and keep asking when it was going to be done. I did add 1 cup more of the water. But the soup was really just perfect. Thank you for posting Made for 1 2 3 Hit Wonders game 2008

    I used some Healthy Meat Balls that were in the freezer in place of the ground beef and beef soup base. I'm not sure that the chili powder and mustard helped the flavor here but I found that I didn't have the stewed tomato's I thought I did and since I didn't think tomato sauce would be a good sub I didn't add any tomato at all. That could well have made the difference so I'm not giving it any stars as I don't feel that it would be fair to the recipe. I liked it but I think I'd add more barley and make sure that I have the stewed tomato's next time.

    with a few amount adjustments we enjoyed this soup, I used beef broth and omitted the boullion cubes and also add in 2 teaspoons crushed red chili flakes, I have never added in mustard powder to soup, not sure if the flavor even came through, this is a wonderful hearty soup with lots of flavor, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten

    Good soup! I'm not a crockpot person, so I did mine in my dutch oven. I simmered it for about an hour and 1/2 and put the tomatoes in right away. Thanks!
