Beef Barley Soup

Several days ago I made a beef roast in the crock pot.  I chopped onions, celery, carrots and large chunks of potato and placed them in the bottom of the pot.  Then I added just enough water to cover the veggies.  I rubbed a dry package of Onion Soup Mix on the beef roast and placed it on top of the veggies and slow cooked it all day.  We enjoyed a great dinner that night.   This soup was made from the leftovers.  I simply chopped the potatoes and left over beef in smaller pieces; add a can of Italian Stewed Tomatoes, three cups of water, basil and oregano, 2 beef bouillon cubes and ½ cup of barley.  I also had the smallest amount of left over broccoli and zucchini so I add that too for good measure.
The soup was very, very tasty and filling.  Leftovers make the best base for soup, check it out.
