Vegetable Soup with Barley
This recipe comes from my mom, who got it from her friend, Bernita, in North Fort Myers, Florida. She originally came from a farm in Ohio though, and I can vouch for the fact that she knows how to make a great Vegetable Soup!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. stew beef – diced small (or chicken breast)
- 1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
- 1 pkg. frozen mixed vegetables (any vegetables you like will do)
- 1/2 cup barley (soaked)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 cups of beef broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
Directions:
Soak barley in water for ten minutes – drain. Cook the onion slightly in 1 tblsp. oil. Add diced stew beef and brown. Add crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Add mixed vegetables and cubed potatoes. Add drained soaked barley. Season to taste. Simmer 30 minutes and serve hot.
