I made this for dinner the other night and my husband requested I put it into the family favorites rotation. He claims not to like soup.
Brown meat in hot oil in dutch oven in two batches, drain fat. Add water, onion, celery, potatoes, barley, garlic, bouillon, basil, bay leaves, and pepper.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer covered for 1 hour.
Stir in frozen veggies and tomatoes. Return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Serve alone or with a nice crusty bread.
*I like thick soups so I added extra veggies
