In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add Onion Soup Mix, vegetable soup mix, frozen vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, tomato sauce, water, barley, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Stir together until combined. Since the seasoning packets have added a lot of salt and flavorings, taste before adding any additional salt and pepper.
Bring soup just to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Pinch off chunks of the raw hamburger (about 1/2-inch in diameter), roll into small balls, and then drop into the hot soup. Cover and let simmer approximately 40 to 60 minutes.
Soup is done when the hamburger balls are cooked completely and frozen vegetables are tender.
Serve in individual soup bowls. This is excellent served with a salad and sourdough bread.
Serves many.
Preheat the crock pot/slow cooker.

* If you don’t have any barley, you can always add a cup of noodles of your choice. Personally, I really like barley!
