I've been making this for the past 4 years and it never fails to please me! I make exactly as the recipe reads except I use regular barley and add it when the vegetables are simmering for 45 minutes. I also use my tea infuser ball to hold the peppercorns instead of cheesecloth.

This recipe is super. I used buffalo ground meat, which has no fat. I also cooked the celery with the meat and added two cloves of garlic with the onion. Great. Thanks.

sorry for typing errors.....I add onions and frozen vegetables donna41
I've been doing this kind of soup for years. I don't add beef broth because as I brown ground beef I ann the onions and celery. Then add 5 cups of water. Bring to a low simmer then add a 1 lb. bag of froven mixed gegetables and cook till vege. are cooked. You make soup or you can thicken with water and flour for a stew. Add potato cubes instead of barley.

is it necessary to use the peppercorns ? will it change the flavor of the soup if not used?
