I just made another batch of vegetable-beef soup. This time I had extra V8 juice and added 1/4 cup. This was just the right mix. Too much and the soup would have been overpowered by it.

I also added 3/4 cup of quick barley about 20 minutes before the soup was done. This brings out the meat flavor of the soup. Definitely a keeper.

I ate 5 cups of soup right after it was done. Yumm.

I just cannot get over the chicken noodle bowl recipe on dougthecook.com. In order to satisfy the beef eater in me, I tried substituting flank steak for chicken in the recipe. It did not turn out as well as I expected (though I love flank steak). Oh well, why mess with a winner.
