Hello,
i was so glad to find this thread about international cooking!
I love to cook, and today I cooked... Beef, barley and mushroom soup, too! t has been pretty cold this week in Florida, and I have been cooking soups every day this week.

I cook This soup with a slight twist, by adding: 1) 1 pound lean ground beef, browned, 2) a cup or more of frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, green peas, green beans and corn) and 3) a can of petite diced tomatoes. By adding meat, you pack this soup with protein, and you will stay full for a long time!

I am so glad to participate in this thread!

As soon as I find extra time, I will post some of my favorite Ukrainian and American recipes, including Panera Bread Cheese'n'Broccoli Soup recipe.
