Directions:
Directions:
Mix flour, salt, and pepper together on a plate or in a pie pan. Coat the meat in the flour mixture and put in a pan (I use my big roaster but a big soup pan would work) with a bit of hot oil. Brown the meat.
Add the water, bullion cubes, and pearl barley
Cook for 20 ish minutes (I just let it cook while I cut up the vegetables)
Add the cut up vegetables, beef broth, tomatoes, and tomato sauce.
Cook for about an hour on medium low heat or until the vegetables are cooked.

Personal Notes:
This makes a BIG pot of soup!! It freezes great though! So you can put the leftovers in single serving containers and freeze them and then BAM easy, quick, and delicious meal another time!

Grandma Great would make Rhodes Rolls when she made this
