Why I Love This Recipe

Living in New Jersey, the winters were always cold and my Mother used to make the best soups! Among them was this recipe for Beef Barley Soup. We would come home from school and the kitchen was warm and smelled so good! Couldn't wait for supper, barley soup and fresh Rye bread from the bakery across the street. I have made this soup for my boys and now for my grandchildren. Some memories last forever.
