 6 cup (1.5 L) vegetables, cut in small pieces (i.e. onions, carrots, celery, rutabaga and/or potatoes)

 1 can (10 oz/284 mL) beef broth
 ¼ tsp (1 mL) dried thyme
 ¼ tsp (1 mL) dillweed
 ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper
 1 bay leaf

Add 4 cups (1 L) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cover and cook for about 2 hours or until beef and barley are tender.
