This soup is just okay. I found it to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also didn't like the texture of the barley. It was a bit too chewy for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of barley, but I really enjoyed this soup. The barley was cooked perfectly and it wasn't too chewy. The soup was also very flavorful. I would definitely make this again.
