2 large cans fat-free beef broth
1 broth can of water
2 c. shredded carrots
2 c. shredded cabbage
1 c. chopped turnip
1 chopped onion
2 lb. stew meat, cut in small pieces
1/2 c. barley

Mix all except barley in crock-pot and cook on low about 5 hours; add barley last 1/2 hour of cooking.

Note: Amounts do not have to be exact, add additional water during cooking if desired. This freezes well in individual containers for quick lunches.
