My review
Beef Barley Lentil Soup
Judy Metzentine
"It's easy for Judy Metzentine to fill her slow cooker and forget about supper...until the kitchen is filled with wonderful aroma, that is! 'I've served this soup often to family and friends on cold nights, along with homemade rolls and a green salad,' she writes from The Dalles, Oregon. For variety, she suggests substituting jicama (a starchy root vegetable found in the produce department of many grocery stores) for the potatoes."

This recipe makes a nice hearty soup. I made a few changes based on reviews: added garlic, used stew meat instead of ground beef, and substituted half of the water for beef broth. I accidentally...

My hard-to-please husband adored this soup. I deviated very slightly to adjust it to ingredients I had on hand (left out carrots/celery) and it was still really good. Very easy recipe, simple in...

This was a healthy and easy soup to make. I added 2 bay leaves and garlic powder because it lacks a little flavor. Next time I'll leave the potatoes out since there's plenty of starch from the...

Good soup! I like that the ingredients are ones that you usually have on hand. I also added minced garlic to the meat and onions to add some extra flavour.

My husband deviated from this slightly -- nearly doubled everything but the meat and onions, and didn't use lemon pepper but used black pepper. We did need to add water when we re-heated the nex...
