LENTIL SOUP WITH BEEF AND BARLEY



Lentil Soup With Beef and Barley image

This soup is thick and flavorful and can be a lifesaver on those days before payday! It can be extended with more liquid; more veggies can be added or the beef can be replaced with sausage meat, ground veal or ground pork. It freezes and reheats well. Serve with good brown bread or biscuits. I have even tossed in a can of beans in tomato sauce. Good stuff!
