Crockpot Beef Barley Soup

I like Barley. I have a few recipes that uses it, but this one is my favorite. I know, it is getting more spring-like out every day, and I am still making warm wintery soups. They are just so good though to eat on those cool rainy spring days!!

The Menu:
Beef Barley Soup


The Original Recipe:
I really don't know where I got this recipe from? Did I make it up? I cannot remember. I change recipes so much that I don't keep the originals, so this is what I have.... and probably the way I made it my own makes this the original!
