    I made this soup and it was absolutely delicious. I love barley - so loved this soup. I added some mushrooms and zucchini for some extra veggies. - 6/20/08

    Great idea to add the extras! I think this is a soup you can pretty much add any veggie to and it will be delicious. Glad you enjoyed it - my husband also loved it so it was a real winner in our house (and very filling!)
