This soup is easy to make, delicious, and healthy. Perfect soup for Fall & Winter. I very much enjoyed this soup. The hubs and kids are a bit picky when it comes to veggies, so next time I will just make a batch for myself to have all week for lunch. For some reason, none of the stores around here had any pearl barley. So, as a substitute, I used cooked white rice. I just made 2 servings worth of rice, and put the cooked rice into individual servings, not the whole batch. Rice tends to soak up the liquid. If I put it in the whole batch instead of individual servings, it wouldn't have been very good the next day.

This soup is delicious! I made it exactly as written with the exception of adding more chicken (used about 2lbs. Cubed chicken breast). I would do this again next time, still plenty of liquid! We topped our bowls with Parmesan cheese and had warm bread and butter with it. Almost like a stew. I cooked it on low for about 8 hours because i was at work and it was perfect. Enjoy!
Very good!! I added a few more veggies but kept pretty much to this recipe (which is pretty unusual for me!)
I skipped sauteing the veges for time, but I think I will do it next time.
I also used a rotisserie chicken. I think the next time I will add more barley. I also added in a zucchini.

This soup was very easy to make and delicious! Perfect for a cool weather meal.Very hearty and the flavors get better with time. This recipe is a keeper. Easy to tweek and make it your own.
Delicious soup. Instead of using the chicken breasts, I bought an already cooked rotisserie chicken from the Deli and shredded it. Turned out great.
