i am a big believer in soup. warm, hearty, delicious soup. there is nothing a bowl of soup can't handle. which is why this soup has become a staple these past couple of months. it reminds me of a soup my mom used to make, which is probably why i love it so much. i just finished making a giant pot, and i hope you'll use this recipe sometime soon. its so easy to make and super delicious! i promise!

(john hair, "sensible cooking")

3 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf
8 cups beef bouillon
1 quart tomatoes, pureed
1/2 cup apple juice

cook barley in salt water. brown ground beef. add remaining ingredients to pot. simmer until vegetables are tender. serve with a dollop of sour cream in each bowl.
enjoy!
apple juice? that's interesting.
