Pearl Barley Soup image

I saw this recipe being made on the Cook and the Chef. I was so in awe of this recipe I just have to try it. Slow and good old-fashioned comfort food! I have to try this very soon, served with crusty bread on a cold night......nothing better!

I'm allergic to barley, but I made this soup with rice instead and it was still very good.

I made this soup with smoked sausage instead of chicken and it was amazing!

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also very affordable and easy to make.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but this soup was still good. The vegetables were tender and the broth was flavorful.

This soup is very thick and hearty. I like to add a little bit of cream or milk to make it creamier.

I found that the barley took a little longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to add an extra 10 minutes.

This soup is a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it was perfect. It was so easy to just throw everything in the pot and let it cook all day.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes and it was delicious.

I made this soup with beef broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very good.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's easy to make and the leftovers are even better the next day.

This soup is a hearty and satisfying meal. The barley gives it a chewy texture and the vegetables add a lot of flavor. I made it with leftover chicken and it was delicious.
