      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.
