This turned out bland. Had to add quite a bit of salt. It might be better with cheddar cheese.

This was a good soup. I liked that it wasn't full of butter and cream. The barley was great and gave the soup something chewy. It makes a lot! Half it.

Only made half quantity of this so therefore only used the chicken broth and everything else was the same. Mother LOVED it but I didn't try it as I pureed it with an immersion blender as Mother has difficulty swallowing and it didn't look as appealing to me. But she had seconds! : )

I love the texture of the barley, and the broth is delightfully different than the standard soups I make. Hubby loves it!

We loved this and even used milk instead of half-and-half because that's what we had on hand. Great texture and flavor. Thanks!

We did not like this soup. It was a very unappetizing color and the flavor was just not there

This is going to be my cream of broccoli soup recipe from now on! I omitted the mushrooms and added carrots with the broccoli. You could definitely use milk instead of half and half.

Tastes great - just wish it wasn't quite so fattening!

Excellent soup! My family loved it and it was super easy to make. I used quick cooking barley and skipped the first half hour of cooking. I threw the broccoli and barley in together and cooked for 10 min. Thx for the recipe! It's a keeper!
