Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs stewing beef
5 -6 carrots (1/2 inch dice)
10 ounces frozen baby lima beans
10 ounces frozen broccoli florets
1/4 cup barley
1 small zucchini (diced)
1 small yellow squash (diced)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (1 1/2 ounce) package Knorr vegetable soup mix
32 ounces beef broth
11 1/2 ounces V8 vegetable juice
1 cup small shell pasta
1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

1

Brown Beef in hot oil in pan.
2

To this add beef Broth with the Knorr soup mix, barley that has been soaked for a few hours in water.
3

Add canned tomatoes and V-8 juice to suit your taste.
4

Add vegetables longest cooking first such as the lima beans, carrots then broccoli, zucchini and squash.
5

Add pasta last. It will swell and get over cooked if you cook too long. I usually turn the soup off and add the pasta, stir and let set about 1/2 hour. Or you can cook the pasta of choice separate and add to individual soup bowls as you serve it. You can adjust to your personal taste by adjusting V-8, beef broth and water.
