No question—this is my favorite soup! It's so filling that I serve it as a hearty main dish, and I have given the recipe to many of our friends and relatives. (Especially with the barley, it simply tastes too good to keep to yourself!)

This soup is fabulous! It has excellent flavor and tastes amazing. I used quick cooking barley because I couldn'tfind regular barley and it worked fine. It would guess that egg noodles would work just as well. Definitely a recipe to keep in the recipe rotation!

Love this easy soup-the barley makes it so comforting! It is delicious and a bonus that it is also healthy.It seems to get better as it ages in the fridge if it lasts that long.
