It's a lunch (thank goodness - I really think they could use more). I had mine yesterday, I really liked it which was a pleasant surprise as I haven't really enjoyed any of the soups. I'll definitely order some extras next time as this is a Temp.

Okay. Just ate mine. BIG thumbs up from me. A nice, hearty meal for a cold winter day. I will definitely be stocking up on these before they're gone. I mean, it's bland. But, you can always season it up, the way you like. This is gonna be an easy one to volumize - I could see adding spinach, green beans, zucchini... Definitely a stew - not a soup.
Anyone else try it yet? |

I tried it, and thought it was pretty good. I didn't stir it after 1 minute like it said to and it was making some rather alarming noises and jumping around in my mircowave, YIKES!!! Luckily nothing spilled. I'll have to follow the directions more closely next time and see if that solves the problem.

I always loosely wrap a paper towel around the whole thing, to catch splatters, if there are any. And, I definitely think stirring midway through helps to heat it evenly. |

I knew this was going to be good before I even opened it. I tend to shake my soups up before I open them. Generally the soups sound really watery, except the potato soup.
This stew is fabulous! Thick, rich, beefy YUMMY!! I am definitely going to stock up on this item! I am really going to watch my stew next time, mine jumped up and the lid came off and half of it spilled!

YUM! YUM! YUM! I love this stew! I am going to stock up on it. Glad to have something beefy. They should keep this and do away with the Beef and Mashed Potatoes --or is it Mashed Potatoes with (one tiny piece) Beef. It could be a dinner with a big salad and veggies. I find it very filling.

I think the Beef & Barley Stew is fantastic!!!!! It's so thick and rich and the gravy is just sooooo good! Oh how I wish they would keep this item!!! I'm actually getting ready to have it for lunch in a few minutes and I've been looking forward to it all morning!
I was told to be careful about it tipping over, so I just place it in a bowl and cover it with a paper towel and have no problems. If you haven't tried it.....you should! ~Kelly  |

I am having the Beef and Barley Stew for lunch right now and I absolutely love it! Very flavorful. I just sent an email to Jenny Craig asking to make this a permanent item. I think it's the best lunch they offer.

Just tried it yesterday. Very good! I hope it becomes permanent. We needed another good soup, especially a beef one.

I love the Beef & Barley Stew. It's a great hearty lunch that's perfect for the winter. Since these temporary items never seem to stick around long enough, I'll be stocking up on it when I visit my center this week. I want to be able to enjoy this for the rest of the winter.
