Beef Vegetable Barley Soup

This is an incredibly easy and filling soup/stew.

Ingredients:
* 6 cups water
* 2 large tomatoes, diced
* 1/2 cup barley

* 1 cup diced celery
* 1 cup diced carrots
* Minced garlic to taste, (I use a couple cloves)
* 1 1/2 cup diced beef stew meat
* 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1/4 cup beef flavored soup base
* Depending on your base, you may want to add a little salt

Preparation:
* Brown the beef in the kettle with a tiny bit olive oil
* Combine all ingredients in the kettle and bring to a boil.
* Simmer covered until vegetables are tender, about 1 1/2hours.
