This soup is absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I added sliced mushrooms near the end of the cooking time, but otherwise made it exactly as written. Another winner, Mr. Food!

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and is delicious. I add a full cup of barley because the first time I made it I used a 1/2 cup as the recipe calls for and it was nowhere near enough. It definitely did not look like the picture with that small amount of barley added.

I absolutely love how simple and affordable this soup is to make - all pantry staples that are relatively inexpensive. (I buy my meat on sale and freeze it) Not to mention that barley is a whole grain with a great chewy texture! I was surprised to find out that it tastes like something I tried and enjoyed at a favorite family restaurant a few years back. Will definitely share with others.

Could this be made in a crock pot?
