Directions:  
1
Pre-cook your beef as usual or cut into small cubes and brown thoroughly in a little bit of oil. I took the leftovers from a pot roast cooked in the crock pot (I even used some of the strained drippings in place of some of the broth).
2
Chop your carrots, celery and onion finely so it cooks faster. If you have a slap chopper or a food processor, that will make quick work of this. Saute in a tbsp. of oil (I just use the soup pot to save time) until onions are just starting to get tender.
3
Add broth and water. Simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes.
4
Add frozen vegetables and barley. I used quick cook barley. If you're using regular barley, I'd suggest following the directions on the package to at least partly cook it ahead of time. Cook on medium heat for 40 minutes. Taste as you go and add your favorite seasonings to taste. You really don't need salt since the broth has so much, but I'd suggest pepper and maybe some Mrs. Dash or italian seasoning. If your meat isn't tender enough or some of the veggies aren't soft enough, cook longer until they are.
