Barley Soup

1 pound wild game meat 1 beef bouillon cube
3 tablespoons olive oil 3 cans beef broth
1 medium onion, chopped 1 cup burgundy wine
2 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium bay leaf
1 carrot, washed and grated 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 celery stock, minced 1 teaspoon Italian spice*
1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes 1/2 cup uncooked barley
1 cup hot water pepper to taste

*can be substituted by purchasing diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings.

Directions

Cut meat into 1" chunks.  Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a Dutch oven.  Brown half of the meat, add another tablespoon of the oil and brown the rest of the meat.  Use the last of the oil to sauté the vegetables for a few minutes.  Add the meat back into the pan, then add the tomatoes. 

Dissolve the bouillon cube in the hot water.  When dissolved, add it to the pan, then add the broth, wine and spices.  Bring to a boil, then immediately turn down to keep it at a simmer for 1-2 hours until the meat is tender, depending on the cut of meat used. 

Add the barely and cook another 35 minutes.  Check to be sure the barely is done.  Season to taste with pepper. 

Good with croutons.

Preparation Time:  3 hours
