Loved it! The barley really absorbs the broth, so you want to add additional broth. I made a big pot and froze the extra.

What a great dish! The family really loved it ... but the barley really soaks up the broth so you will want to add a bit more. Will definately be making this again!

This was a great soup, just perfect for those cold winter nights! It was thick, tasty, and real good comfort food.
