Beef and Barley Soup I

SUBMITTED BY: Martha Dibblee PHOTO BY: SHARONN

"We are remodeling the kitchen and getting very hungry for food again so I got out the slow cooker and made this soup. It's perfect when you do not have a lot of time. Since you can get soup bones that contain little fat, this soup is nearly fat-free. When the soup is cooled there is no visible fat at the surface."
