No More TearsTo reduce tears while cutting onions, freeze onions for 20 minutes before chopping. Also, use a very sharp knife when chopping onions and chop quickly. You can save both time and tears by chopping many onions at once. Freeze the extras in an airtight container for up to 3 months. (Before sauteing, thaw the onions and pat them dry. Frozen chopped onions can be added directly to soups or casseroles.)

I also used a rotisserie chicken. I think the next time I will add more barley. I also added in a zucchini.

Delicious soup. Instead of using the chicken breasts, I bought an already cooked rotisserie chicken from the Deli and shredded it. Turned out great.

Delicious, hearty soup with a rich,tasty broth.I omitted the mushrooms because my husband and son don't like them. I added zucchini, like another reviwer. I was out of red bell pepper but I'll put it in next time. I added a couple stalks of celery, a bay leaf , fresh minced parsley and a little sugar to balance out the tomatoes. My son had a cold and this soup hit the spot! I am going to use the leftovers for dinner tomorrow night, but I already want more, the broth is so good. I served the soup with Garlic-Cheddar Drop Biscuits and tomorrow I will make grilled cheese. This was the first chilly day of fall here and this was the perfect recipe for it! I will make this again for sure, thanks!

Very good. I sauted veggies, but would skip this step next time around. Also added a couple stalks of celery and a bay leaf for flavor.

This is an easy, hearty soup that my family really enjoyed! I substituted a sliced zucchini for the mushrooms (b/c my son doesn't care for mushrooms) and, since I didn't have time that morning to saute the onions, peppers & garlic, I just put them in the slow cooker along with all of the other ingredients. It turned out beautifully - thick and very flavorful! I will definitely be adding this recipe to my collection.
