Weird Chuck Roast & How to make Veg Beef Soup

[RealLifeMama]

I have a chuck roast in my freezer that looks unlike any I have seen. It is shaped like a standing rib roast almost. It has stripes of fat in it, and I am not sure if it has bones. (I did not pick it out, it came from the farm frozen/sealed)
It does not look like it would make a good pot roast at all, so I am wondering if I can just make some soup out of it.
And, if I can, how do I do it? I think it is about 2.5 pounds.

Maybe a beef barley soup would be good if you have a recipe.

Is it labeled chuck roast? It almost sounds like lamb:shrug3

Yes, it came in our 1/4 cow order.

Me too. Marbling is needed to make a good pot roast.

I just do not think there would be enough meat off of it to make a meat meal, KWIM? It is more than marbling. It looks like ribs stuck together.
