Brisket Beef Barley Soup image

Alton Brown, when cooking a brisket, advised to cut the smaller end off and make it into a soup. So here is the soup we made from the brisket tip! We LOVE this soup!! **NOTE** The amount of water you need depends on how high you boil the soup, and how concentrated you want your broth. please taste the soup through the cooking...
