Title: Excellent Cheap Soupe
Categories: Beef, Soups
Yield: 1 Batch

1 lb Stewing beef; cut into 1 to
-2" cubes
4 tb Butter; for browning beef
2 lg Yellow onions; chopped
2 oz Pearl barley; rinsed and
-sorted
7 oz Split peas; rinsed and
-sorted
6 Potatoes; chopped into 1 to
-2" cubes

MMMMM-----------------------COOKING LIQUID----------------------------
1 c Chicken stock
2 qt Water
Salt & pepper; to taste

(This was the maximum amount of liquid my largest pot could hold. If
you have a big stock pot, you should be able to accommodate a full
gallon of cooking liquid. I recommend using 1/3 vegetable or
meat-based broth and 2/3 water.)

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Measure, chop, and prepare all
ingredients.

Heat 2 tb butter in an oven-safe stock pot or dutch oven. Brown the
beef cubes in butter to seal-in their flavor. Add the other 2 tb of
butter as needed. When the beef is mostly browned, add the onions and
allow them to soften for 1-2 minutes. Add the barley, peas, potatoes,
and cooking liquid (stock and water) and cover. When the soup has
come to a rolling boil, add salt and pepper to taste. Then transfer
the pot to the oven to cook for approximately 2 hours. Check every 45
minutes or so to make sure the grains have not absorbed all the
liquid and add water as needed.
