Directions:
- Warm the olive oil in the soup pot over medium high heat.
- Add finely cubed beef and brown well.
- Add carrots, onion, and celery, turn heat down to medium low and cook about 5 minutes, stirring to coat all the vegetables with oil.
- Add tomatoes with their juice, barley, bay leaves, beef stock, and salt and a couple of grinds of pepper. The amount of salt will depend on your beef broth, so start with a small amount (1 tsp.) and add later as you taste.
- Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered about one hour or until barley is soft and beef is tender. If the soup is too thick at this point stir in up to one cup of hot water or stock to achieve the consistency you want.
- If made in advance the soup will continue to thicken as it stands and you will need to thin it with water or additional stock.
- Pick out bay leaves before serving (unless like my family, whoever get's the bay leaf in their dinner, gets to wash the dishes).
