Having grown up on beef barley soup, I was looking for something with barley but without the beef. This recipe fits the bill. I made a few changes. I added extra veggies - green beans (freezer leftovers), mushrooms and yellow squash; made a few substitutions - pearl onions (freezer leftovers), 3 cloves of fresh garlic, and fresh parsley; used 3 quarts of broth to accommodate the extra veggies; left the barley the same but upped the spices to match the extra broth and veggies. I threw the whole thing in the crock pot (filled to the brim!) and let it simmer away. My family loves this soup.

Delicious! I adjusted the spices a little to suit my tastes (1/4 tsp black pepper and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes instead of all black pepper, added 1/4 tsp marjoram), but for the most part made the recipe as-is. I used a quick barley, which made the cooking time a lot less. And I always saute the veggies in olive oil before adding the broth - it really brings out the flavors this way. Great recipe!

Great soup! I followed the recipe almost exactly. I used 4 cloves fresh garlic and just added some mushrooms and green bell pepper that were sitting around in the frig waiting to be used.

This recipe is awesome! As suggested I used 3/4 cup barley, I instead used kidney beans, and I didn't have curry powder, so I tossed in a handful of fresh cilantro. It was perfect. This recipe is very versatile and I look forward to making it again!

I made this for vegetarian guests. I thought it was going to be so boring, but everyone raved, and I must say I thought it was downright fantastic. Will definitely make again!

So simple and so delicious. My boys gobbled it up. I added a few twist (a little more broth, fresh garlic) but it is a hit!! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely delicious soup. To much pepper for my taste though. Just a pinch is enough or it over powers the rest of the tastes.

Very good! the only thing is that a serving size isn't very filling. Other than that we really enjoyed it!

A really great vegetable barley soup recipe. I enjoyed the kick from the different seasonings. I cooked the veggies plus a little minced garlic in olive oil before adding the broth and only used 1/2 cup of barley. I wanted a soup-like consistency and I got it. Great tasting vegetarian source of protein. Will make again.

Very tasty. My daughter is a vegetarian and she loved it. It's a good source of protein and a great "heart healthy" soup. I didn't have any zucchini so I left it out, but it would have been even better with it. I only used 3/4 c barley as suggested and it was the perfect amount. I will make this again!

Just made this and I am eating some right now. Much better then I thought it would be. I did substitute frozen lima beans for the chick peas (I don't like chick peas) and I added peas and grean beans. I can't wait to try it tomorrow, usually soups like this taste even better the next day.

This was really easy, shopping was the toughest part. The barley absorbs a lot of liquid, so the leftovers are not really soup but are still wicked good.

This was absolutely wonderful. My husband (who isn't usually a soup person) loved it and asked to have it again. I followed the recipe exactly. It had just the right amount of spice and flavor and it wasn't too thick. Looking forward to having it for lunch today! Oh, and it made much more than 8 servings (and we had big bowls full). I would say closer to 12.

I've made several 5-star rated recipes lately and they have all disappointed me. This one as well. Was not as flavorfully balanced as I had hoped. I made it exactly as written. All I could taste was pepper. The base seems very bland. My family ate it but didn't particularly love it. Probably won't make it again.

This soup is okay, but nothing special or amazing. It's easy to make, and quite versatile. I followed the recipe exactly, except I only cooked it one hour instead of 90 minutes. It makes a LOT!!!!
