Expert Tips

Beef is a good source of vitamin B-12. Our bodies need B-12 for energy and to maintain a healthy nervous system.

Cut the meat into about 1/2-inch cubes. This makes it just the right size for eating lots of small meat pieces throughout the soup.

The barley in leftover soup may absorb much of the liquid. Reheat and serve as a casserole or thin it with beef broth or tomato juice to your desired consistency.

I cut the stew meat into little pieces so that it was cooked thoroughly. Instead of the Green Giant Steamers, I used the Birds Eye Steamers and it came out terrific. It was absolutely delicious. My family enjoyed it very much.

The meat could have been a bit more tender. I did use stew meat like the recipe called for but it was kind of tough. Not sure if it was just the way stew meat is or the fact that it would have been better had it cooked longer. Otherwise, this was a very hearty healthy meal, easy to prepare and my kids loved it too.
