My family will eat soup several times a week in the cooler weather. I make this in 16 quart batches at a time. I often take a quart or two to shut-ins when I make it. One of my first boyfriends taught me to make this soup. I had never used either marjoram or rosemary before then. Wow what a great flavor they add to this soup. Great with corn bread or corn muffins. A meal in a bowl.

How To Make chocked full of vegetables beef barley soup

1
Brown shank and beef cubes in olive oil. Add garlic and onion cook until soft. Cover with water, add bay leaves.

2
Simmer for several hours until meat is fork tender. Remove bones and pick meat off and return to pot.
3
Add canned tomatoes. Next add carrots, celery, and rutabaga and simmer until rutabaga is almost done. Add potatoes, cabbage and barley.
4
Simmer another 40 minutes. Add the drained canned vegetables and seasonings. Heat until vegetables area all heated though. Check seasonings.
5
When the kids were little I would sometimes add a cup or two of alphabet pasta. If you do you made need to add additional water or beef broth to thin out soup.
