Good soup! I added some chicken for my hubby's benefit. Used veggie broth. The only herb I added was to simmer a bay leaf in the soup. I did throw a handful of frozen chopped spinach in for the last ten minutes. That made it perfect.

I love this soup and have always made it according to the recipe with the exception of adding a little basil and more barley. Today, I made a mistake and used a can of diced tomatoes with basil,garlic and oregano. Still great. Thanks for the wonderful recipe, Nancy.

i used to make this a lot but lost my recipe. I was so delighted to have found the recipe. I didnt have my garlic this time thought and it is still perfectly yummy. I how ever use my own canned tomatoes. Thank you for being the only one who has the tomato barley soup recipe on this whole site.

The soup was really great ! I did puree half of the soup and poured it back into pot, for a little creamier texture. The only thing I did different was add a potato. I will definitely make this again.

Great Soup! I added a can of black beans and zucchini. I also added tiny tofu squares (i cut them teeny-tiny and added it with the rest of the vegetables). It was really good and they were so cute floating in the soup. I will add them to other soups that I make that don't need to be pureed.

I adjusted the recipe just a little and after adding 2 cups of Play sand, I thought it was just a bit dry. --- I agree with the gentleman that say you should not rate a recipe your have not tasted. if you modify it you are actually rating your own mess, but it affects the rating of the recipe submitted. STOP IT!!!

So, SO delicious! I added a can of corn and did 4 cups of chicken broth instead of water. It was really good and I will definitely make this again!

I thought this soup was great. I would just like to recommend that when simmering leave it covered. I had to add more broth due to evaporation.

This recipe lacked flavor. I was disappointed because of all the rave reviews. I wanted a smooth texture so I put the tomatoes, celery, and onion through a food processor but I don't feel that would have made a difference. I also realize the soup would be better if it were made in the summer. I added V-8 juice and some basil to spice it up. It also needed salt. It was much better that way. However, when I served it for dinner both my husband and I had to throw it away. Bummer!

Absolutely wonderful soup! My fiance' and I used to frequent a small family-owned cafe next to our favorite bike shop that had a soup very similar to this one. It went out of business & we've missed having their soup, so did a search for a soup with similar ingredients & found this one. It may actually be better than the one we used to get at the cafe! I've made it 3 times already & freeze it in individual bowls to eat whenever we want it. It's really great with some homemade sweet cornbread.

This soup was really easy to make. I liked the taste, but I enjoy very simple flavors. My husband and brother in-law both added hot sauce to the soup because they found the flavor a little dull. I think the soup needs some more spices... right now all of the flavor comes from the tomatoes and the pepper. Also I found the soup needed some salt.

Excellent! I used a 1/2 cup of barley, a chopped potato, a can of drained chickpeas and a dash or two of oregano, thyme and corriander. My guests raved about it! Perfect on this cold winter day! Thank you!

A nutritious soup, but needs a little help: maybe some sauteed ham as a first ingredient and a can of kidney beans or garbanzo beans. A dollop of pesto on top. Or serve with crusty baguette smeared with goat cheese. Something. Otherwise, just another healthy soup, forgettable.

The flavor of the broth in this recipe is amazing! My only complaint is that for a tomato barley soup, it did not have much barley. I doubled the barley called for in the recipe, and I still feel like it was a little light. I also added some browned hamburger to make it a heartier meal soup. Honestly though, I think the meat took away from the flavor of the soup. Next time I think I will just serve it as a side soup, and forego the meat. Oh, also added some fresh basil in the last 5 min of cooking because basil and tomatoes go so well together.

Great healthy satisfying soup! I used 1/2 c barley, added 1 tsp basil, used all chicken broth, 1 small can tomato sauce, and 2 cans diced tomatoes (didn't have fresh), and it was delicious! I also cooked it 45 minutes with the lid off of the pot, and it thickened up nicely to a stew-like consistency. I will definitely be making this again :-)
