Beef-Barley-Kale Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb. beef, cut small
8 c. beef broth
1 c. barley

10 oz. chopped kale

Preparation

Brown meat and onion in oil.
In a large pot, combine broth and barley and cook for 1 hour along with beef and onions.

On one occasion, I added a tablespoon sesame oil and that was interesting.
I usually try to use fresh kale, stem and all.
