Best Beef Barley Soup

---

This is one of my favourite recipes for leftover roast beef - its delicious on a cold winter night!!if you don't have leftover beef, substitute with 1 lb of extra-lean ground beef, to be cooked with the onions! . Demi glace" or "au jus" can be found with the prepackaged gravies & sauces in the supermarket - you just won't get the same great flavour if you omit it!!"!
