In the cold months, I like to put on a big pot of this comforting soup. It cooks away while I do other things like baking bread, crafting or even cleaning the house. —Glenna Reimer, Gig Harbor, Washington

Thicken Barley and Bean SoupBarley and beans absorb a lot of soup broth. If you like barley in your soup but the leftovers are too thick, add extra chicken, beef or vegetable broth to leftovers while reheating to achieve the desired consistency.

I found this recipe a week ago and have made it 3x's in double batches. My husbands band was over practicing and they cleaned me out with the first batch. This is the most incredible soup I have ever made. I can't keep this soup in my fridge. I do add more broth. Enjoy

Perfect for a cold and snowy winter night. This smelled so delicious while it was simmering away. My family loved it.

Really delicious! The only changes I made were to double the tomatoes and omit the sage because I didn't have any. Next time I'll throw in more kale--it cooks way down. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

I made this a few weeks ago and then froze it. Last night we finally ate it and it was yummy! I had three bowls of it! (Does that cancel out the "low-cal" label on this?)

My husband and I enjoyed this soup. He thought that I could have put even more kale in it.

This is excellent, easy to make. I'd add a few more carrots next time, and a shot of hot sauce in individual bowl was delicius.
