Made this for dinner last night - thought it was fabulous. I had purchased pork chops not knowing what I would make, looked up recipes, and this looked the best - plus, I could make it with ingredients on hand! I cut the cooking time down to 20 minutes before sauce/20 minutes after sauce. Only used a bit of sauce during the baking process, heated up the sauce in a pan, and used the rest for those who like sauce (some in my family don't). Also, I only had cream of chicken soup, so used this, and added a clove of garlic (crushed) to kick up the flavor a bit, plus an extra dash of wine. Will definitely be making this again!

Loved this recipe. Used pine nuts instead of almonds. The whole family loved this, and it was so fast and easy!

I was looking for a good vegetarian soup for my family, and this one was a homerun. It has delicious flavor. I read many of the reviews, and made some of the modifications suggested: I sauteed the onion and celery in butter before adding, used 3/4 cup of barley and increased the broth by a can, and I used mostly Swanson chicken broth, but also used Swanson vegetable broth. This will be a winter staple in our house. Thank you so much for the recipe!
