  1. I love barley soup but I’ve never tried a tomato based version. My family’s old recipe is a stock based soup, but I have to say that would be nice!

    Barley is one of my favorite ingredients for soup. Such a nice smooth texture, and it thickens the soup, too.

    Thanks for the veggie soup reminder!

  3. A beautiful bowl full of flavour.

    I make so many variations on this theme, and, often it is a case of ‘dump it in’ if it is there 🙂 ! But barley just has to be there both for consistency and flavour and just its inherent goodness!
