Vegetable Beef and Barley Soup image

I got this recipe from Epicurious and modified it to suit my family's taste. Once a week during the fall and winter I have "soup night" and invite friends and family. This is one of our favorites. I usually just serve it with homemade wheat bread. It is perfect cold weather comfort food. Enjoy!

This soup was delicious and very easy to make. I used ground beef instead of stew meat, and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup, which added a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making this soup again.
