Water to fill an 8 quart pot almost full
Bring the water to boil, add the flanken and boil until cooked. Add the soup mixes, the barley and season to taste.
Cook uncovered at a low boil for hours! Keep stirring the pot. Add the vegetables midway.
If done right, when you take this out of the refrigerator it looks more like a kugel than a soup! You will need to stir it well and add water and seasonings.
This takes a long time to reheat without burning so if you are doing it erev Shabbos, keep this in mind.

This was probably one of the very first recipes I called my mother for after I got married twenty years ago. As you can imagine, it did not come in "recipe" form.
