Last week I made soups, Here is one. I subsitute Tomato Juice or V8 for the tomatoes as DH doesn't like tomatoes.

BEEF BARLEY SOUP

1/2 cup chopped carrot
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup frozen green beans
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
4 cups beef broth
4 cups water
2 cups chopped cooked roast beef
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup quick-cooking barley
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano




DIRECTIONS
In a soup kettle or Dutch oven, saute carrot, celery, garlic and onion in butter until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the broth, water, beef, tomatoes, barley, salt, pepper, basil and oregano; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the green beans. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. if you like it with a little more zip, add some crushed red peppers. This is also good if you put it in the crock pot on low before you go to work...come home and dinner is ready!

Love to have this with a good beer and some bread.
