Oh, tasty...

So, 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.

Nom nom! Will definitely try it. Realized that I hadn't made a Delicious Pot Roast this winter, so was sort of craving that kind of dish.

It did turn out lovely -- I did the soup in my dutch oven, which great for browning meat.
