Beef Stew

There is nothing quite like fresh warm bread and beef stew when it is cold outside. This stew was probably had less meat than most people would like, but the flavor is fabulous. More meat could easily be accommodated. The result is super thick. If you want this to keep (it is better a day after) I would omit the barley (as it sucks up most of whatever liquid is there) and decrease the chicken broth to 2 cups.
