The beef in this soup was a bit tough. I think I'll use a different cut of beef next time.

This soup is a bit bland. I had to add some salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.

This soup was a hit with my family! The beef was tender and flavorful, and the barley added a nice chewy texture. The vegetables were also cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.
