This hearty beef barley soup gets an added layer of flavor by the addition of cut up cheese just at the end—it melts right in.

I loved the soup but my husband thought it was "okay". Lots of flavors mixed together and reminded me of my chilhood.

I would put meatballs in vs. the hamburger and it needed salt....the idea of chicken base worked great!

I make this recipe VERY often. I often use ground turkey and add Ms. Dash which gives it a nice flavor. My daughter doesn't care for mushroom, so I omit those and add a can of corn instead. I also make drop biscuits to go with the soup. It's a MUST have in our family!

Delicious and hearty. This soup is great. A little thick so I added more chicken broth then needed. I also added a bit more broth when I reheated the soup for leftovers to loosen it up. My husband loves this one!!
