     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.
