Janet, I have a recipe for Scotch Broth, but not sure if it would interest you, but it's (IMO) so tasty! It does include barley, but also traditionally it's made with lamb (but maybe it could work with beef..it just would taste different because lamb has distinctive taste). It also includes turnip (but I use the rutabaga - which in our house when I was growing up was known as 'turnip').
Another soup I make with barley is very simple and I don't have measurements for it, I just 'eyeball' how much to put of the vegetables. Essentially it's canned tomatoes (blended in a blender to make it smooth - I use the large cans of it) and you can add chicken broth or water or vegetable broth. I add carrots, celery, onion, all chopped as small as you wish and chopped garlic and dried oregano, and then I also add barley. I usually end up putting too much (probably 1/3 cup is enough for a large pot of soup?) as I love barley in soup. I cook it until the barley is tender (about 45 minutes). I sometimes add broccoli but that would be nearer to the end of the cooking time. You can add green beans too. I just put the vegetables I like.
Let me know if you'd like the Scotch Broth recipe. It's very hearty and it's really like a meal.
