What size is medium? I have never been able to figure that out. Weight would be good but if you can't use or read a scale then use a tape measure and give the diameter and height.

Quick and easy soup and also inexpensive.Next time will use a little less chop meat. Would also work with other veggies as well as I added some leftover corn and was very good.Thanks for a delicious recipe!

It isn't often that my husband goes nuts over soup, but with this one he asked for seconds AND asked if we could have it again the next night. I added a little pepper and topped it with french fried onions. Definitely a delicious, hearty soup and great for cooler weather! I am glad it is a big recipe because that gave me plenty left to freeze for later.

I love this soup its so easy to make and is loaded with so much flavor. All the farmers love it when I bring it to them on chilly days.

Ooooh, wonderful. I halved the ingredients, omitted the celery, replacing with celery seed, and crockpot cooked it. Barley was soft in about 4 hours. Could use a little more basil to spark the flavor.

This soup is a hearty one! My toddlers actually ate this soup. I thought, however, it lacked flavor. I am not sure how I would change it next time to make it more tasty. Not sure I'd make this again although it was nice to find a recipe to freeze.
