I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The stew was still very flavorful.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover split peas and barley. It's also a very affordable meal.

The stew was good, but it was a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I would make it again.

This stew was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices.

This stew was easy to make and turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. I served it with some crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold night.

I'm not usually a fan of split pea soup, but this stew changed my mind. It was so flavorful and hearty, and the barley added a nice texture. I'll definitely be making this again.
