Beef and Barley Soup III

Recipesfull introduces to you: Beef Recipes. (Beef and Barley Soup III). This is what I consider the ultimate beef soup. Great on a frosty day. For beef stock, I use 2 1/2 quarts water and 6 teaspoons beef base. Also, use inexpensive red wine. No need for the good stuff here, and cheaper actually works better! Try with leftover pot roast.
