“Wonderful fall weather soup! We have it for supper with bread and butter and we’re stuffed! Leftovers freeze well, just add about a cup of broth when you reheat it.”

“Made this tonight and it was really good!I omitted the bay leaf – personal preference, and at the end I mashed the potatoes to make it a bit creamier.This is a great tasting low fat soup.For those of you on Weight Watchers – it works out to 3 points per serving.Next time I will try adding some chopped celery as well.Really great recipe and thank-you for posting.”
“Great comforting and filling soup for such a cold day we had.I added more liquid, thanks for a tasty soup.”
“The husband, kids, and myself absolutely loved this soup! It’s very hard to find a soup that the husband will eat, but he gobbled this one up. The only thing he suggested to be changed is to add in some corn and I admit that sounds pretty good to me too. It fed 5 of us and there’s still leftovers. Will definitely make this again.”
“Sarah – thanks for the great soup recipe!This couldn’t be any easier!I served this hearty soup with some crusty french bread and a large salad.It was a perfect meal on a cold rainy night – satisfying and simple!Thanks again!”
“This was good. It thickens up a lot due to the barley if you don’t eat it right away or put it away. You have to add some water to it. My version I used vegetable broth and it didn’t look as nice, sort of grey but still tasty. Needs more spice too, but not sure what.”
“I made the soup for supper tonight and it was delicious!I added a pound of browned ground beef and left out the marjoram because I didn’t have any.We had fresh Italian bread and butter with it and homemade pudding for dessert.Enough left for 1-2 more meals.Will definitely make it again.Thanks!”
“It smells wonderful and came together fairly quickly (as a mom of three, 4 and under, always a plus for me!).I added celery and Italian turkey sausage and will probably need to mash it up a bit before serving.”
“Lovely soup,will put it on my soup rotation.I had a bit of chicken and peas in the fridge I threw in.I added a bit of tobasco.”
“We really liked to taste of all the herbs.It took a lot longer than 45 minutes for barley to get soft though and it was a little bit thicker than we would haveliked.Next time I will do less barley to make it a little lighter.”
“So simple to make and delicious to eat! I didn’t need to add any salt because the chicken broth was salty enough, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and the result was super!”
“I did this soup and it was very filling on a wintery evening.I used a bouquet garni instead of the herbs as I did not have any.The result was very satisfying.”
“I really like barley so I tried this soup.It was good but I found it a bit bland.I added some hot sauce and balsamic vinegar to pick it up.”
