It's pretty good, though I ignored most of the quantities listed and just "did my own thing". After 12 hours, and perhaps not enough water/bouillon, I have an amazing stew (whoops, I was trying for soup). I agree with you that the touch of wine makes all the difference! Perhaps it seems silly to make it in the summer, but this stew hit the spot. YUM! So I tried out your recipe, thanks for sharing!

Had one 25 years ago and loved it, now I am again attempting to make life easier and eat healthier meals. I was hoping to make a beef and barley soup as my first test of this appliance and was fortunate to find your recipe. I agree that prep of foods is the difference between a decent meal and a memorable meal. Thanks so much for the recipe. I am trying to throw away my conventional kitchen, purchased a convection toaster oven and the slow cooker. I am expecting that they both will make life easier as I can cook my meals while I sleep and not heat up the house when i want to roast something...it is awful to me to want a roasted chicken when the weather is 95 outside. Thanks for your support of my " living without a conventional kitchen" and the knowledge that a good meal is possible, I am so inspired. Wow, just came home with my new slow cooker.

I'm not big on the commercial recipe sites, so usually find recipes (and great blog sites) in this way. I don't make many recipes with beef involved, but my husband likes it from time to time. I do have very fond memories of my father's Saturday soups and beef barley was one of his best efforts. And, after all these years, I just found out it is my husband's favorite soup--a detail he's kept back because he knows beef isn't my thing...how sweet. Also, on his behalf, I purchased a large sampler pack of grass fed beef from a farmer at the local market last fall and we are still working our way through it. Grass fed beef is very lean and so I am--by trial and error--learning how to prepare it. This recipe in the slow cooker seems just right; and I did just check to find that there is a chuck roast in the sampler pack. I'll report back. Thanks!!
