This is one of my favorite fall recipes. I'm making it next week for a teacher birthday event. I can make this easily the night before and heat it overnight in the crock and take it to work the next day. I NEVER use peas in this recipe. However, I brown the beef before cooking and carmelize the onions. I also add a clove of garlic. For an extra zing I use Penzey's 4/S seasoned sea salt and add some dried shallots. However this time, I am going to use the new FORWARD salt free seasoning. I will still add the dried shallots. Look up Penzey's if you are not familiar with them. Their seasonings are a bomb!!!!

Soup was very bland. I ended up adding more thyme, salt, pepper, real garlic, garlic powder, a little Tabasco. I also added more tomato sauce and more canned tomatoes.

It was so good! We couldn't find barley so we used two small, cubed potatoes and we also used a bag of frozen mixed vegetables instead of fresh. While it was cooking I was worried I wasn't going to like it, because I'm not a big tomato fan, but with a few crackers it was perfect! Definitely going to make it many more times.
