good base recipe but needs some seasoning, I added pepper, bay leaf and home made salt free Cajun seasoning, I used Better Than Boullion Vegetable stock base for the chicken stock, it was what I had, I also added some corn which I had in the fridge, I needed 12 cups of water to cover my soup.

I had a left over ham bone. I simmered broth with ham bone for over an hour before adding anything else. I sauted the veggies with garlic in a little olive oil. Added one cup of barley. Also added cabbage towards the end. Yummy!

Light, simple, tasty, and EASY. This would be good with a really hardy rye or multigrain bread. If you plan to have as leftovers, pull some out before the cabbage is fully cooked so the cabbage doesn't get mushy when reheated later.

I first made this soup about 3 years ago & really liked it. Had forgotten about it until I had a bumper crop of cabbage this year. Decided to make it again & try canning some. The canning process really enhanced the flavor & it is even better!

Quick easy one pot meal but kinda blah and I'm not sure what I could add to improve it besides salt and pepper.

Great soup. 1 1/2 hours is way too long for cooking it though. It was pretty mushy, although tasty. I used half chicken broth & half water. I will cook for 1 hr next time, adding the cabbage in the last 20-30 minutes for some crunchiness.

This was SO good! Everyone loved it! I love that it was a one pot dish and so easy to make and very healthy as well! I doubled the barley to one cup, used 6 cups of chicken broth and 4 cups of water and added a little salt. It was delicious!

It was okay I guess. It seemed very rich making us unable to eat much of it. I would add the cabbage at the last 20 minutes because it wilted down to almost nothing. I used rice instead of barley and it turned out okay. Hey, but it is an inexpensive meal.
