Baby It's Cold Outside - Soup's On

It is bitterly cold outside.  On days like this I like to eat something that will warm me from my head to my toes.  The perfect food is soup.  The soup I am making today is rich and hearty  a stick-to-your-ribs type of soup.  It is packed with lots of good vegetables, meat, and barley in a delicious broth.

This soup also freezes well.  Just put the soup in a freezer container and when ready to use thaw and heat.
