Wonderfully warming, this soup is always on the menu for the retreats we host on our woodland farm. Everyone enjoys spooning up its yummy vegetable broth and hearty mix of beans and barley. When I really want to bring smiles, I serve a basketful of my homemade onion-herb bread with it.

I'm not a huge fan of barley, but this soup changed my mind. The barley is cooked perfectly and it adds a great texture to the soup.
