BARLEY SOUP

7 cups water
1 heaping Tbsp beef base
1/2 lb cooked meat (beef/ground beef/chicken)
1 can tomato soup
1/2 cup barley (uncooked)
1/2 cup chopped carrots
2/3 cup frozen peas

Put water in large stockpot.  Add beef base and stir to mix.  Turn heat on to high.  Add meat, canned soup, barley, and carrots.  Stir.  Bring to boil.  Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 50 - 60 minutes until carrots and barley are tender.  Add frozen peas and cook for another 10 minutes.  If it seems too thick stir in another 1/2 to 1 cup of water.
