Beef, Vegetable and Barley Broth

Whilst we were living in California, I used to have a Beef, Vegetable, and Barley Broth at a local restaurant, it was a superb heartening homemade dishful of happiness, and this recipe is my adaptation, the closest I could get to the real thing. Serve it with warm crusty bread and this is a perfect lunch or supper dish.

Pot barley is different from pearl barley this is the whole grain is a good source of protein, fibre and niacin (vitamin B3), as well as the trace minerals calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. It wants soaking overnight or for at least eight hours, just cover with boiling water, and leave to soak drain the following day. The soaking makes the barley more eatable and cuts down the cooking time.
