Potato-Beef Barley Soup image

I originally got this recipe off of the Kathie Lee and Regis show about 14 years ago. It quickly became a family favorite and through the years I have changed the recipe a bit. Tastes wonderful with a warm crusty bread. I have added a can of corn for variety. Also, red or yellow peppers can be used with green to add beautiful color.

This soup was not good. The beef was tough and the barley was undercooked. The vegetables were also bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This soup was just okay. The beef was a little tough and the barley was a little mushy. The vegetables were also a little bland. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
