Sally, I'm going to start another thread, because I know Liz and Linda Lou worked out the "safety" of the recipe. I'd rather have Liz post it, so I know it's right.... Annie

Bump! Boy all this bumping is making me tired...lol...:D

Not sure which thread you are looking for, but here is a beef & barley soup recipe that may help. It uses ground beef, but you could easily sub other beef for it. Mushroom, Barley and Beef Soup From "Living the GI Diet" by Rick Gallop 4-6 servings 1 T canola oil 8oz lean ground beef 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 lb mushrooms, sliced 1 carrot, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 1T fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried) 2 T tomato paste 1 T balsamic vinegar 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 4 c beef broth (low-fat, low-sodium) 3 c water 1/2 c barley 1 bay leaf 1 can (15oz) black beans, drained & rinsed Heat oil in large deep pot over medium high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until no longer pink. Reduce heat to medium and add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, fo 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, carrot, celery and thyme and cook until all the liquid has evaporated from the mushrooms, about 15 minutes. Add tomato paste, vinegar, salt & pepper, stir to coat vegetables.Add the broth, water, barley and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the barley is tender, about 45 minutes. Add the beans and heat through. Remove bay leaf before serving. Chicken option: You can use ground chicken or turkey for the beef and use chicken broth instead of beef broth. Linda

On IE, my pull down retains web pages visited last...maybe if you haven't surfed much since then, it may still be there. Maybe you can google some of the keywords you do remember?? Did you print anything from the site you're looking for? The name of the site will print on the page. When I just do a copy and paste from a site into WP, I always also copy and paste the url at the bottom of my page so I know later on where I got the info.
