Oh, tasty...

crafty_packratSo, I made the Beef and Barley Soup from Sunday Soup, even though I apparently forgot to get celery yesterday at the co-op.
It's *spectacular*, and really close to the canned Campbell's Beef and Barley soup I loved as a kid. I suspect if I had celery, it would be a near duplicate.
However, I only made a half recipe -- which should be *four* servings -- according to the cookbook, and I have at least 6 if not 8! I think 1/2 lb of meat per serving is excessive, and while I think the soup is extremely tasty, I think I could reduce the meat by at least half and still have a pretty good soup.
