A bit bland, but definitely a nice fresh-tasting soup. Mixed in some sofrito and that gave it some more flavor. I'd also use more barley next time.

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!!!
