GROUND BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP
I came across this recipe years ago at a recipe exchange through a church group. The contributor didn't sign her name, so I don't know who to thank. But my husband and son thank me for preparing it by helping themselves to seconds and thirds! - Ellen McCleary, Scotland, Ontario

BEEF, BARLEY AND MANY VEGETABLE SOUP
On one hand there is beef barley soup, and on the other there's mushroom barley soup, but why choose between the two when you can have both in one soup? Heck, why not add a bunch of other vegetables-carrots, celery, tomatoes, and chard or spinach-to the mix for even more color, flavor, and nutrition? And how about a handful of fresh dill for an earthy herbal essence? It's that kind of thinking that led me right to this wonderful, filling, meal-in-a-bowl with tender beef in every bite balanced with a bounty of whole-grain, plant-powered goodness.

Steps:
- Season the meat with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the meat to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, then add the onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, chopped chard stems, if using (if you are using spinach, do not add it here), garlic, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes more.
- Add the broth, 2 cups of water, the diced tomatoes with their juices, and the barley and return the meat with any accumulated juices to the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the barley is cooked and the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Add the chard leaves or spinach and the dill and cook for 2 minutes more, then serve.

SAUSAGE BARLEY SOUP
This is a nice soup recipe with a lot of texture and flavor. It is a welcome change for those weeks when there doesn't seem to be a lot of variety... and all 3 of my kids even loved it. This can also be cooked in a pan on the stove until the barley and carrot are tender, but I prefer the slow cooker method. The flavors seem to blend better.

Tips:
- Choose lean ground beef: Opt for ground beef with a lower fat content, such as 90% lean, to reduce the overall fat and calories in the soup.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just spinach - try adding other vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, or zucchini for a more flavorful and nutritious soup.
- Don't overcook the barley: Barley should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooking can make it mushy.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
- Serve with a side of bread or crackers: Ground beef, spinach, and barley soup is a hearty and filling meal on its own, but it can also be served with a side of bread or crackers for a more complete meal.
