1. Brown ground beef, garlic & onion; drain off fat, 2. Add olive oil then vegetables. (add any preferred root vegetables here, parsnips, sweet potato, rutabaga). 3. Cook 5-10 minutes to soften vegetables. 4. Add can of consommé and de-glaze pan. 5. Add can of tomatoes, tomato juice, water, soup mix & barley. Season as desired. (I used sea salt, pepper, sprinkle of cayenne and about 4 tbs of spicy spaghetti seasoning, Worcestershire sauce would be nice too). (Add black or navy beans for extra protein & fibre). 6. Let simmer 45 minutes. 7. Add frozen veg and simmer additional 15 minutes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
