This is a hearty winter soup and makes a great leftovers (if there's any left). I altered a recipe from a box of barley to suit my family's taste. It's a great cold winter day meal.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb beef sirloin steak, cubed
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
7 cups beef broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained and cut into pieces
1/2 cup medium barley
1/2 cup celery, sliced
2 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 teaspoon basil, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 (9 ounce) package mixed vegetables
Directions:
1. In a 4-quart saucepan, brown meat.
2. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is tender; drain.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients except frozen vegetables.
4. Cover, bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat and simmer 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add frozen vegetables and cook about 10 minutes more or until vegetables are tender.
7. Note: Add more water if soup becomes too thick upon standing.
