Ground Beef and Barley Soup image

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

This soup is okay. It's not the best soup I've ever had, but it's not the worst either. I probably won't make it again.

This soup is way too salty. I had to add a lot of water to dilute it. Other than that, it's a good soup.

This soup is a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor. Overall, it's a decent soup, but I wouldn't make it again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ground beef. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love this soup and I love how easy it is to make.

This soup is a lifesaver on cold winter nights. It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I like to add a bit of extra spice to give it a little kick.

This soup is amazing! I've made it several times now and it always turns out great. It's hearty and satisfying, and the flavors are complex and well-balanced. I love that it's also a one-pot meal, so it's easy to make on a busy night.
