This is a great and flavorful recipe that everyone enjoys.

It definitely warmed me up instantly, a perfect dinner on a cold winter day. I used beef stock to increase the depth of flavour, and it certainly did the job. The soup was very tasty and loaded with nutrients from barley and beans. Made a large pot, and froze the remaining soup.

Good wintertime meal. Serve with crusty French baguette to sop up the gravy.

This tasty stew will reward you for the time it takes to make a proper roux, which add depth.
